Wednesday, 20 February 2008 - Strasbourg

4.3. Lisbon strategy (vote)

– Before the vote on Amendment 12

  Udo Bullmann (PSE). – (DE) Mr President, I would like to suggest a change to Amendment 12 which, naturally, does not replace the amendment but inserts an additional formulation in the second sentence. This additional formulation is worded:

‘or through collective agreements in accordance with national traditions’. This comes after ‘generally binding arrangements’, and before ‘that enable full-time workers to make a decent living from their earnings.’

(DE) An amendment suggesting this supplementary formulation is designed to take into account conditions in Scandinavia and has been agreed with the co-rapporteurs and the groups who are also requesting it.

(The oral amendment was accepted.)
