"I am very upset that at second reading, we were unable to accept the Council’s position. The reason for this is that we must be in favour of competitiveness. This is not a question of slave labour; even if someone wanted to, they could only work a maximum of 60-65 hours a week. Instead, we have opted for the path of complete inflexibility, with immediately claimable compensatory rest time, which puts employers of seasonal workers, for instance, in a completely untenable position. I would like to draw the attention of my fellow Members to the fact that a person who is hired by an employer and given the option to choose the conditions under which he or she will work is in a far better situation than the highly protected employee who is unemployed. For this reason, I am very upset about the opt-out. As regards on-call time, in the end, I voted for the ninth amendment, since it was clear that we were going for reconciliation, notably because this can be settled at national level on the basis of the amendment."@en1
