European Parliament
Philip Bushill-Matthews (PPE-DE ). –
In his supplementary question Mr Moraes referred to the interests of working people. Is the Council aware of some research concerning large European countries published in the
Financial Times
in recent days, which shows that the majority of working people in all those countries, with the possible exception of Spain, want more flexibility in their working hours, not less? Will the Council take this into account when trying to broker a deal?
