lpv:translated text	"Today, I voted for the amendments in the Cercas report since I believe it is the only way to stop the Council’s proposal for a directive on the organisation of working time. We in my group have always opposed this directive, and we have therefore tabled an amendment rejecting it entirely, since we believe it will set workers’ rights back a very long way. The proposal for a directive individualises employment relations (through the opt-out clause), so that employers and workers can agree to increase the working week to as much as 60 hours. Although the amendments in the Cercas report soften the text of the directive, they make the current situation worse (they keep the opt-out clause for three years and increase the reference period for calculating working hours to six months). My group feels that the Cercas report is not heading in the right direction of guaranteeing a 35 hour working week under law for the same weekly wage, in order to effectively redistribute wealth. Despite that, I voted for it, since that was the only strategic option to paralyse the Council’s directive and force it into conciliation."@en1
