Traduction de «temps effectivement travaillé » (Français → Anglais) :

We specifically ask you, however, for it is the substance that is important here, to relaunch the European social agenda. There must be, for instance, a Commission reaction to the Laval case. It must use its powers of initiative to propose a revision of the Posting of Workers Directive. There must be a truly ambitious revision of the European Works Councils Directive to allow social dialogue in major groups facing restructuring to be utilised effectively and in a timely fashion. There must be a revision, a real adaptation of the Working Time Directive to combat opt-outs and abuse of excessive working hours. The Temporary Work Directive m ...[+++]ust be adopted in order to combat casual employment. You must launch an ambitious lifelong learning programme so that this fifth pillar, this fifth fundamental freedom, is not just reserved only for an elite, but enables all people to fulfil effectively their own potential as workers to enable them to adapt to changes in the economy and the job market.

The period during which the worker carries out his activity or duties during on-call time shall always be regarded as working time.

The stepped approach which has been brought in must not be used to simply give a redefinition of working time such as removing meal breaks or time spent on call but not actually treating patients.

How can compliance regarding the daily rest period (Article 3), breaks (Article 4) or weekly rest period (Article 5) be monitored if there are no records of the time actually worked by these workers?

Although the underlying facts of the case were fairly similar to those in the SIMAP case, the Court was asked on this occasion to give its views on the question of whether on-call services should be considered in their entirety as working time, even if the party concerned does not in fact perform his professional duties but is authorised to sleep during the time concerned.

The fact that some of these categories fall within the scope of Article 17(1) of the Working Time Directive does not permit a total exclusion of these workers.
