25/06/2010 (Agence Europe) - On Thursday 24 June, the European Commission welcomed the new French rules on working conditions for international rail workers. France now meets obligations incumbent upon it under EU legislation in this field, namely Directive 2005/47/EC, which lays down minimum working condition standards, such as driving times, breaks and daily and weekly rest periods. The Commission has therefore closed its infringement case against France. (G.B./transl.jl)
