lpv:translated text	"I can only recommend that this text be adopted, which is the product of a long and difficult conciliation process between the Council, the Commission and Parliament. This favourable vote is of capital importance as it concerns the health and safety of some 7 million workers in Europe. Workers in the transport sector and offshore workers, sea fishermen and doctors in training will at last be entitled to benefit from European working hours regulations. As a French member of the Parliament’s Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, at second reading, I supported Parliament’s position which, in particular, provided for a four-year transition period for doctors in training, with a maximum working week of 54 hours, over a four month reference period. The conciliation process produced an agreement whereby doctors in training will be covered by the directive, as far as its scope of application – a maximum 48-hour working week over a four-month reference period – is concerned, after a period of nine years. The nine-year period is to be subdivided as follows: a four-year transposition period and a five-year transition period. In the first three years of the transition period, the number of weekly working hours shall not exceed 58, or 56 during the last two years. For some States, however, this sort of nine-year period will not be sufficient to carry out the necessary adjustments. These States may therefore be permitted an additional period of two years. The Commission will make a statement on the notification of the relevant Member State, after consulting employers and workers at European level, as well as representatives of the Member States. The notification, the opinion of the Commission and, if this opinion is not acted upon, the Member State’s justification, shall be published in the OJ and sent to the European Parliament. If there are specific problems, then the two-year period may be extended for a further year, but the Member State must incorporate the procedure in full. The maximum number of weekly working hours may not then exceed 52."@en1
