Dear Colleagues,

Please find enclosed a set of joint EPSU – HOSPEEM comments as contribution to the ongoing trialogue discussions. We think that this joint social partner contribution can be a useful additional approach to influence the discussions.

We ask you to use your channels of influence for dissemination of this document. The vote on the proposed directive in the European Parliament is planned for the time being for 18 January 2011.
