"Mr President, I should like to add to the words of thanks that have been spoken to Commissioners McCreevy and Špidla. I have great admiration for the way in which you have met us halfway. What is now before us represents a big step forward. I have a few questions and comments.
I shall start with you, Commissioner McCreevy. You said that you will be presenting a document on health. What do you mean? Is it a directive? Indeed, we cannot accept a situation where the European Court of Justice decides that we should monitor the situation closely, only for nothing to be done thereafter. I would appreciate it greatly if it was a directive that were to be tabled, because you have not mentioned the form that document would take.
Turning to Commissioner Špidla, I agree with you both that Articles 24 and 25, as they were formulated originally, were included with the aim of making it impossible to put up administrative hurdles in the recipient Member State. I totally agree that something should be done about them. Having said that, wages and working conditions can also be skirted, which leads to improper competition on the labour market. That means, therefore that it is important for new policy guidelines to be drafted, also for the workers who are posted.
I have a question, though. Why have you issued a communication, Commissioner Špidla? I am asking you, because Mrs Schröder is writing a report on the posting of workers directive and you already have an assessment of the same directive at your disposal. Why have you issued a document that is difficult to enforce? Why did you not decide to adapt legislation instead?
Mr President, I have one last comment to make. I am delighted with the fact that the monitoring procedure that checks the way we deal with each other is set to improve thanks to different labour inspections joining forces. We will need to have another talk about how we could reinforce this procedure."@en1
