"Madam President, the second reading of an EU Referendum Bill will take place tomorrow in the British House of Commons. It looks as though the referendum will occur next year. Until then, David Cameron has said he will focus on trying to renegotiate Britain’s relationship with the EU.
Labour MEPs have been fighting for many years to reform Europe. We have argued that the EU budget must focus more on promoting jobs and growth; that national parliaments should engage more with EU policymaking; and that where EU regulations are not working, they must be changed. But Cameron is taking Britain’s name in vain in these negotiations. His plans include abandoning the tightening-up of the Posted Workers Directive, making wage—undercutting worse, not better. He is also trying to dilute forms of protection in the Working Time and Agency Workers Directives and the Social Chapter.
Yes, we need EU reform, but we need reform that works for employees, for pensioners, for the unemployed and for the vast majority of businesses, which accept the need for a minimum floor of protections at work."@en1
