3 KRATKO OBRAZLOŽENJE On two occasions Parliament has rejected Commission proposals for a ports package seeking to regulate access to and the operation of major ports in the Member States. The earlier proposals were rejected on the grounds that on crucial points they were too far-reaching and because they would create serious problems with safety and the organisation of trade unions. In its new proposal the Commission has taken some of this criticism on board. General considerations The rapporteur agrees in principle on the wish for transparency concerning the financing of ports, but does not think that it should be a priority for the regulation to focus on market access. The Commission s impact assessment has not shown that increased market access would lead to growth and more jobs in the industry or enhance the quality of port services. On the contrary, the Commission s proposal on increased market access raises a number of concerns as regards workers safety and rights. The rapporteur therefore takes the view that it is important to send a clear signal about the need for better training and safety conditions for workers with a view to reducing accidents at work in ports, and that the Member States, together with the social partners, must take the initiative to substantially reduce casual and precarious work in the industry. The rapporteur therefore wishes to alter the focus of the regulation, so that market access is written out in favour of an increased focus on transparency. Specific worker protection issues From the workers point of view there are a number of issues that need to be clarified or amended, so that the regulation does not place them in a worse position, either as individuals or in relation to their collective rights. In this proposal it is reasonable to ask whether the requirement for market access could potentially conflict with safety and workers rights. This problem arises, for example, in connection with the obligation to have more than one operator in the same port. It is of course unacceptable for workers safety, or the fundamental right to demand proper conditions for employees, to be called into question. It is therefore proposed to insist that no obligation concerning market access or transparency may impede the right to demand proper training of workers, to consider the environment or to require collective agreements. This means that the Member States must have the right to restrict the number of service providers by reference to the above considerations. It must be possible to make key demands in these areas. Work at and in ports is dangerous and requires the correct qualifications to avoid accidents with severe human consequences. The Member States must therefore have the right to set minimum requirements concerning the training of workers such that they have the necessary qualifications, and to insist on their social and trade union rights. Within this framework, however, it must also still be possible to demand the maintenance of professional PA\ doc 3/14 PE v01-00

4 qualifications, so that workers are always as well prepared as possible to uphold a high level of safety at work. These minimum requirements should have absolute validity, and it should not be possible to circumvent them by reference to other parts of the regulation. Member States should also have full rights to carry out checks to ensure that the minimum requirements are met. The Member States should also have the right to impose public service obligations to secure workers social and labour rights and ensure safety in the port. In this connection the rapporteur takes the view that it is crucial that this right should not be restricted by the EU, since it is the Member States that are best able to strike the correct balance between the need for flexibility and growth on the one hand and the interests of workers on the other. Furthermore, the rapporteur wishes to stress that collective negotiations, including collective action such as strikes and blockades, are a fundamental right in a vast majority of Member States, as is explicitly stated to in Article 28 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The regulation must respect this, and therefore collective action must not be regarded as an emergency which justifies the use of emergency measures. In the event of a change of employer, workers should be given the best possible protection at all times. Where a service task is transferred to a new service provider a dialogue must immediately be opened with the social partners to ensure the best possible transition for workers, and the application of Directive 2001/23/EC must be compulsory. Finally it needs to be stressed that, where a port is expanded or the number of service providers changes, it is crucial that trade unions, environmental organisations and local interest associations should also be involved as relevant stakeholders. It can be of major importance to workers in the port, to the local area and to the environment if a significant change occurs in the provision of services. This, of course, is why it needs to be ensured that these voices are also heard. This means that they should be involved in the process in good time and in an open and fair way, for example by being given access to relevant information, and that serious consideration should be given to any concerns they may have. Subsidiarity principle The Member States have organised their ports in widely differing ways, both in operational terms and regarding the size of role played by the public authorities. It is therefore vital that this regulation does not alter the Member States right to freely decide how they wish to organise their ports. Transparency should only aim to ensure that all parties are able to know what is going on, and should never mean that Member States are forced to alter their fundamental systems. It is absolutely crucial to show respect for the Member States diversity and the opportunity to realise growth potential in the various ports and thus create more high-quality jobs.

10 Apart from being essential infrastructure and a potential for growth and job creation, ports are a dangerous work place.
