Traduction de «Travailleur salarié » (Français → Anglais) :

In order to ensure legal certainty for employees in the event of insolvency of undertakings pursuing their activities in a number of Member States, and to strengthen employees’ rights in line with the established case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, provisions should be laid down which expressly state which institution is responsible for meeting pay claims in these cases and establish as the aim of cooperation between the competent administrative authorities of the Member States the early settlement of employees’ outstanding claims.

This annual revision is also important in view of the substance of the issues dealt with: definitions of the terms ‘employed person’ and ‘self-employed person’ when these cannot be established on the basis of national legislation (Annex I, Section1), definition of ‘member of the family’ when national legislation does not permit a distinction to be drawn between family members and other persons (Annex I, Part 2), special schemes for self-employed persons excluded from the scope of the Regulation (Annex II, Section 1), special childbirth or adoption allowances excluded from the scope of the Regulation (Annex II, Section 2), special non-con ...[+++]tributory benefits supplied solely to persons on the territory of the Member State of residence, thus constituting an exception to the rule of exportable benefits (Annex II a), existing bilateral conventions which were in force before the implementation of the Regulation in the Member States concerned (Annex III), legislation under which the amount of invalidity benefit is independent of the length of insurance periods (Annex IV, Section A), cases where the calculation of benefit may be waived because it will not yield a higher amount (Annex IV, Section C), special procedures for implementation in certain Member States (Annex VI), and schemes that provide only for family allowances or supplementary or special allowances for orphans (Annex VIII).

In the light of ever-changing labour market developments, it is important for us to have enquired about all kinds of new categories of employees which have been referred to in discussions for some time and in respect of which we would, in fact, like a definition of the terms employer, employee, self-employed, self-employed without staff, etc.

I cannot accept Amendment No 1, which aims to prevent employees from being "converted" to self-employed persons; Amendment No 7 which proposes the introduction of a Community definition of "employee"; nor Amendments Nos 8 and 16 which propose to add categories of workers who may not be excluded from the scope of the directive.
