EWTD update
Tony Blair has written to EU Commission President Romano Prodi to plead the case for the EWTD opt-out.
EUPolitix.com quotes the letter: "It is ... important to the UK that the working time proposals retain the individual opt-out, while addressing other abuses. Our flexible labour market...depends on measures such as this which allow workers to exercise choice over their working lives."
The Herald also has an article on the struggle across Europe to implement EWTD, with many countries prioritising training and service over legal compliance.
