Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Commission attaches a great deal of importance to Parliament’s resolution on the Member States’ implementation of Directive 96/71/EC on the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services. Social partners from all sectors were involved in discussions on the resolution, and asked to provide further information in the form of an extensive questionnaire. The latter was also forwarded to the administrative bodies of the Member States, which is the follow-up procedure for all Parliament resolutions. The Commission lent its support to a research project carried out by the European Federation of Building and Woodworkers on the practical impact of the Posting of Workers Directive, which was followed up by a conference. The end result was a draft second report on the implementation of Directive 96/71/EC, which covers the same issues as Parliament’s resolution. The Commission services are currently in the process of finalising this draft report, and it will be adopted in the near future. The Commission has played an active role in both implementing the Directive in practice and improving cooperation in the field of information provision by working together with a group of specialists from the Member States.
One of the outcomes of this group’s work has been a code of conduct, along with guidelines for cooperation and multilingual documents for informal exchanges of information. The aim of these latter is to facilitate communication between contact points and monitoring bodies. In addition, a dedicated website has been launched on the posting of workers, which contains key information in three languages on the legal framework governing the posting of workers and links to related documents and websites set up by the Member States that cover problems relating to the posting of workers. The website also provides the public with access to a list of contact points and monitoring bodies, which means that official bodies and individuals can find out about the appropriate contact points in the various Member States.
I have been informed that the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs has decided to draft an own-initiative report on the impact of Directive 96/71/EC on the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services. A hearing on this report will be held on 26 January 2006. I will be very interested to learn the outcome of this hearing, and I would welcome the opportunity to cooperate with Parliament on this key issue."@en1
