Brussels, 18.03.2005 Provision of services must meet social, ecological and quality demands: EUCDW demands new approach Regarding the services directive, the EUCDW demands that it must be ensured that national standards or minimum European standards, e.g. regarding
are not neglected. The member state in which the service is provided must be given the responsibility and authority of inspection. This applies in particular to the fight against illegal employment and illicit work. EUCDW is glad to see that there is apparently an increasing number of advocates in the Council and EU Parliament for a differentiated approach of this kind. A European directive which is geared towards these criteria differs fundamentally in approach and method from the current draft. EUCDW therefore requests the Commission to withdraw its present proposal and to work on a new approach of this kind in an open process of discussion. EUCDW hopes that this discussion process will now enter a phase in which it is possible to work jointly on pragmatic solutions which are geared towards human well-being and the human need for protection. We need a detailed and flexible set of European rules. To achieve this, the European institutions must work together with practicians from the business world, employee representative bodies and consumer associations.
The
European Union of Christian Democratic Workers (EUCDW) consists of 23
workers' organisations from 15 countries and is an association of the
European People's Party (EPP).
