WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1941/98 by Lyndon HARRISON to the Commission. Public holidays
Official Journal C 386 , 11/12/1998 P. 0167
WRITTEN QUESTION P-1941/98 by Lyndon Harrison (PSE) to the Commission (11 June 1998) Subject: Public holidays Given there are only 50 days a year, clear of national, public holidays, where the whole of the European Union and its single market is open for business, will the Commission indicate what it might do to improve the business environment by rationalizing the timing of such public holidays across the Union? Does the Commission agree that such measures should not detract from the holiday complement currently enjoyed by Europe's workforce? Answer given by Mr Santer on behalf of the Commission (15 July 1998) The Commission has no jurisdiction to deal with the question asked, which is a matter solely for the national authorities concerned.
