Rapporteur Jean-Luc Crucke

The Social Affairs Committee examined this bill at its meeting on 4 May 2004. Minister of Social Affairs and Public Health, Mr. Demotte, stated that the project was aimed at concretizing Opinion 1448, issued on 13 November 2003 by the National Labour Council, reflecting the agreement of the social partners.

While the immediate declaration of employment is effectively generalized since 1 January 2003, Article 13 of the Royal Decree of 5 November 2002 provided that for certain sectors facing different techniques, in particular the sectors of horticultural enterprises and the hotel industry employing occasional workers, the so-called Dimona declaration became mandatory only from 1 January 2004. However, the assessment of the National Labour Council has shown that these sectors are still unable to make the said declaration and therefore proposes to consider a last one-year postponement, being aware that the ONSS is currently working on the development of an appropriate process and that the declaration scheduled for the end of June will then be submitted to the National Labour Council.

Although this project has not generated any comments on the subject matter, Mrs Greta D'hondt wanted to raise the problem regarding the form relating to the publication in the Moniteur belge of a law that had not yet been submitted to Parliament. Referring to a question asked on the subject by Mr. Courtois and to the reply of the Minister of Justice, at a meeting of the Justice Committee on 26 April 2004, Mrs D'hondt wished to hear the explanations of the Minister of Social Affairs and Public Health and also to question him about the measures taken to prevent this precedent from repeating itself.

The minister deplored the error resulting from an unfortunate match of circumstances, said that he would order an internal investigation and that a reinforcement of the control procedures was from now on planned. Article 1 was adopted by 11 votes and 2 abstentions. Articles 2 and 3 were adopted unanimously.
