Cutaway of Kostadinka KUNEVA (GUE/NGL,GR), rapporteur and final vote. Result: 279 votes in favour, 104 against and 204 abstentions. <br />

SOUNDBITE (Greek), Konstantinka KUNEVA (GUE/NGL, EL), Rapporteur:<br /> The majority of the domestic workers are women. And most of these women domestic workers are immigrants. This means that we have additional issues to solve.

SOUNDBITE (Greek), Konstantinka KUNEVA (GUE/NGL, EL), Rapporteur: <br />We believe that all employees should have the basic social security, health care and pension rights. They must have basic social security rights, right to health insurance, a regular working time, training and to all the rights that all workers should have.<br /> It is unacceptable to allow two categories of workers: Those with rights and those without.
