1. The management or investment company must employ a risk-management process which enables it to monitor and measure at any time the risk of the positions and their contribution to the overall risk profile of the portfolio; it must employ a process for accurate and independent assessment of the value of OTC derivative instruments.

Concerning Germany, the Commission maintains that some provisions of the framework directive have been incorrectly implemented into national law because there is a graduated approach as regards the employer's obligation to be in possession of an assessment of the risks to safety and health at work. There is an exemption on employers of 10 or fewer workers from the obligation to be in possession of documents containing the results o ...[+++]f risk assessment. This derogation runs against two provisions of the framework directive which provide for (a) health and safety representatives to have access to the risk assessment and -therefore jeopardising the overall objective of developing worker participation in health and safety protection and (b) that the documentation prescribed by the directive has to be established in all areas where there are particular hazards at the workplace, and that rules concerning the protection against accidents stipulate certain reporting and documenting requirements.

As to how it is financed, my understanding is that the principle is to try to distribute the burdens among employers in proportion to the risk of their occupations, so that employers in high-risk industries should pay high premiums on behalf of their employees because the aim is to encourage employers to produce safer environments.

The social value of the Directive Whilst it is true that this Directive is an inadequate response to the proposals of the Commission and the requests of the European Parliament, particularly with regard to night work and the level of maternity benefits, the Commission nevertheless considers that the adoption of this text will improve the situation of women workers in certain Member States: - prohibition of dismissal irrespective of the length of time in the job and regardless of the size of the company represents a notable improvement for women in Member States where such restrictions still exist (in particular the United Kingdom), - inclusion of ante-natal medical examinations in working time is a welcome step forward (e.g. in Greece, Irel ...[+++]and, Belgium and France; in the latter case, the four compulsory examinations either had to be taken during personal leave or entailed a loss of pay), - the provisions relating to assessment of risks, particularly the fact that mental fatigue is now included as a potential risk, will clearly help to improve the level of protection of the workers concerned throughout the Community, - maintenance of employment rights during maternity leave is undoubtedly a step forward in the United Kingdom, where the employment contract is suspended during such leave (e.g. in terms of seniority, annual leave and pension rights), - the reduction to one year of the qualifying period for maternity benefits is particularly advantageous to women workers in the UK, where it was necessary to have worked for the same employer for two years (or five years in the case of part-time work) to qualify for maternity benefits at the higher rate (i.e. 90% for six weeks and a weekly flat-rate allowance for the subsequent period).
