<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"Council Directive93/104/EC(1) of 23November 1993 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time which applies, with certain exceptions, to all sectors of activity, both public and private, and at any rate to the firefighting sector (Article1(3)), establishes that:      —  working time shall mean any period during which the worker is working, at the employer's disposal and carrying out his activity or duties, in accordance with national laws and/or practice (Article2(1));      —  a weekly rest period of 24 hours is compulsory for each seven-day period, on top of the 11 hours of compulsory daily rest (Articles3 and 5);      —  the maximum weekly working time may not exceed 48 hours, including overtime, for each seven-day period (Article6(2));      —  national provisions that are more favourable to workers may prevail (Article15);      —  derogations from the weekly rest and maximum weekly working time arrangements may be made for some activities, namely when, ‘on account of the specific characteristics of the activity concerned, the duration of the working time is not measured and/or predetermined’ or when these are ‘security and surveillance activities requiring a permanent presence in order to protect property and persons’ (Article17).    In a number of Member States (specifically Belgium and France), voluntary firefighters — who are legally equivalent to community workers — perform their activities under conditions which often carry them well beyond the maximum threshold imposed by Community law, particularly when they have jobs at the same time.  1.Could the Commission explain to the European Parliament how it intends to apply the provisions of Directive93/104/EC of 23November 1993 to voluntary fire services, particularly the provisions relating to a weekly rest period and the maximum weekly working time? Does it consider that voluntary firefighters carry out an activity that qualifies for the derogations in this directive?  2.Does the Commission plan to adopt an initiative for voluntary firefighters which, with respect to their specific characteristics and the general interest tasks they perform, guarantees that their working conditions and working time are tailored to their activity?    (1)OJ L 307, 13.12.1993, p.18."
