Measures to implement Directive 2000/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, amending Council Directive 93/104/EC concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time to cover sectors and activities excluded from that Directive. Consultation document

When adopted in November 1993, the Working Time Directive (93/104/EC) excluded the air, rail, road, sea, inland waterway and lake transport, sea fishing, offshore work and the activities of doctors in training. A further Directive covering these sectors, known as the Horizontal Amending Directive (HAD) (2000/34/EC) was adopted on 1 August 2000 and provides for implementation by 1 August 2003. This consultation document describes the UK Government's approach and timetable for implementing the Horizontal Amending Directive in Great Britain (the implementation of the Directive in Northern Ireland will be subject to a separate consultation). Deadline for responses: 31 January 2003.
