"In November 2011, the European social partners notified the European Commission of their plans to start negotiating on working time. They have set a deadline ofSeptember 2012 to agree on a revision of the Working Time Directive after an unfruitful five years of discussions by the European institutions. The rocky roadtravelled shows the enormity of the task which will not be plain sailing, despite both sides' avowed commitment to shoulder their responsibilities."
