Protection of young people at work: transition period for the United Kingdom (Directive 94/33/EC). Report

The committee adopted the report by Den DOVER (PPE-DE, UK) on the Commission report. It agreed with the Commission's view on the transition period and considered the possibilities for derogation sufficient to provide the necessary flexibility. It did not therefore expect adverse effects on employment opportunities for young people following full implementation of the Directive. The committee also supported the Commission's view that, as the deadline for implementing the provisions concerned by the transition period expired on 22 June 2000, the UK should now ensure the full implementation of the provisions of the Directive.�
