"I have one specific and highly critical point to make about the Commission’s work programme for 2013. There is nothing – absolutely nothing – in the Commission’s proposals about health and safety at work. It seems that alongside its regulatory agenda for the financial market – which, of course, I greatly welcome – it is operating a ‘deregulatory agenda’ for our companies and the business environment in which they operate. My fear is that this will lead to the systematic erosion of the basic minimum standards in place in the European Union. On the pretext that it wishes to improve the business environment for all of Europe’s companies (and with SMEs accounting for 98 % of companies in the EU, I think we can safely say that this refers to all of them) and stimulate the economy and industry in Europe, the EU’s existing acquis is weakened. This is especially noticeable, in my view, in relation to workers’ rights of codetermination; it is also apparent in relation to health standards and safety at work. The European social dialogue is put under massive pressure."@en1
