Regret and disappointment are expressed by Father Piotr Mazurkiewicz, Secretary General of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community (COMECE) on the decision of the President of the European Parliament Employment and Social Affairs Commission, motivated by procedural reasons, to vote some amendments put forward by seven Eurodeputies from different parties to include Sunday as a day of rest in the new “Working Time Directive” which is being examined by the EP. In reality, explains the COMECE note, “the amendments will add to the directive’s article 5 a second paragraph according to which ‘the minimal weekly rest must include Sunday’.” Then there is the proposal to “highlight the importance of Sunday holiday for the protection of workers’ health.” “If the European Parliament is taking seriously the point clearly outlined in the directive,” says the COMECE, “it would be logical that it completed the present text with a disposition on Sunday as a day of weekly rest.” Hence, the wish that “the Eurodeputies will make all their possible to include the debate and the vote on Sunday holiday, the foundation of the European social model, in the plenary debate scheduled for next December 16.”
