01/06/2001 (Agence Europe) - During the meeting by the European Commission on Wednesday, the Commissioner for Social Affairs Anna Diamantopoulou informed her colleagues of the failure of negotiations between European social partners over temporary work (see, among others, EUROPE of 28/29 May, p.17 and of 23 May, p.16). Noting that no progress could be expected, any longer, the Commissioner undertook to propose legislation on the matter.
