Traduction de «night-time value » (Anglais → Français) :

Mr. Mac Harb (Ottawa Centre, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, last night the Prime Minister was awarded the 2002 Statesman of the Year Award by the prestigious East-West Institute (1415) [Translation] From time to time, we realize that the international community holds Canada and Canadian values in great respect.

- the start of the day (and consequently the start of the evening and the start of the night) shall be chosen by the Member State (that choice shall be the same for noise from all sources); the default values are 07.00 to 19.00, 19.00 to 23.00 and 23.00 to 07.00 local time,

From the point of view of small and medium-sized enterprises, and especially self-employed drivers, this directive, with its limit values on average, accurately-defined maximum working times, minimum breaks and rest periods and its provisions on night work, is an example of politics exerting an inadmissible and unnecessary influence on working times for which these drivers alone are responsible.

1.2 // '6.4. // In the case of devices in category 2 b, the delay between the moment the circuit is closed and the light intensity measured on the axis of reference reaches 90 % of the value determined in accordance with 6.3 above must be measured in both daytime and night-time conditions of use.

The social value of the Directive Whilst it is true that this Directive is an inadequate response to the proposals of the Commission and the requests of the European Parliament, particularly with regard to night work and the level of maternity benefits, the Commission nevertheless considers that the adoption of this text will improve the situation of women workers in certain Member States: - prohibition of dismissal irrespective of the length of time in the job and regardless of the size of the company represents a notable improvement for women in Member States where such restrictions still exist (in particular the United Kingdom), - inclusion of ante-natal ...[+++]medical examinations in working time is a welcome step forward (e.g. in Greece, Ireland, Belgium and France; in the latter case, the four compulsory examinations either had to be taken during personal leave or entailed a loss of pay), - the provisions relating to assessment of risks, particularly the fact that mental fatigue is now included as a potential risk, will clearly help to improve the level of protection of the workers concerned throughout the Community, - maintenance of employment rights during maternity leave is undoubtedly a step forward in the United Kingdom, where the employment contract is suspended during such leave (e.g. in terms of seniority, annual leave and pension rights), - the reduction to one year of the qualifying period for maternity benefits is particularly advantageous to women workers in the UK, where it was necessary to have worked for the same employer for two years (or five years in the case of part-time work) to qualify for maternity benefits at the higher rate (i.e. 90% for six weeks and a weekly flat-rate allowance for the subsequent period).
