REGULATIONS * Europe - MEPs and business groups call for WTD rethink
London,UK -The Road transport, by Christopher Walton -3 July 2010: -- A cross-party group of MEP's, alongside the Federation of Small Business and the British Chamber of Commerce, have sent an open letter to the European Commission calling for them to think again about introducing a 48-hour working week for owner drivers... Last month the European Parliament was unsuccessful in its vote to permanently exclude the self-employed from the Working Time Directive. Owner-drivers have been temporarily exempt from the legislation, and allowed to set their own working hours, since 2005... The letter, which has appeared in the Daily Telegraph, says: "Certain MEPs have now set a dangerous precedent by interfering in the manner in which the self-employed organise their working time..."
