    WRITTEN QUESTION E-1700/99

    by Ilda Figueiredo (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

    (29 September 1999)

    Subject: Transposition of Directive 93/0104/EC on working time

    Because Directive 93/0104/EC(1) on working time has not been transposed into Luxembourg law, employees in certain economic sectors, for example the hotel and catering trade, are obliged to work very long hours far in excess of the norm laid down at European level.

    What is the current position, and what steps are being taken to make the Luxembourg authorities transpose the above Directive and comply with Community law?

    (1) OJ L 307, 13.12.1993, p. 18.

    Answer given by Mrs Diamantopoulou on behalf of the Commission

    (4 November 1999)

    The Luxembourg authorities have communicated to the Commission their national measures implementing Directive 93/0104/EC of 23 November 1993 concerning certain aspects of the organization of working time. The Commission is currently undertaking a thorough analysis of this legislation. A report on the implementation of Directive 93/0104/EC in the Member States is due to be presented early in 2000.
