Rappelons que le Conseil et le parlement doivent être unanimes vis-à-vis d’un texte conjoint pour que ladite directive prenne force de loi. Cette dernière étape n’est pas nécessairement gagnée d’avance. Tant dans les milieux maritimes et portuaires belges que dans les milieux syndicaux, on attendait d’être en possession du texte complet avant d’émettre des considérations. Du côté de la CE, on insistait sur le fait que tant la CE que le parlement européen étaient partisans d’une plus grande transparence et d’une plus grande flexibilité dans les ports, mais qu’ils avaient tenu compte du caractère spécifique d’un port et du travail qui y est effectué.
