The ruling does not impact on those with long commutes to fixed work places. The Directive is designed to protect workers' health and safety; outlining how long employees can work and how much time off they are entitled to. The case was brought to the ECJ by the Spanish trade union CC.OO against security company Tyco. The action was prompted by the closure of Tyco's regional office in 2011 meaning staff had to travel for up to three hours every morning to install the company's products. The ECJ stated ‘if a worker who no longer has a fixed place of work is carrying out his duties during his journey to or from a customer, that worker must also be regarded as working during that journey’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fcuria.europa.eu\u002Fjcms\u002Fupload\u002Fdocs\u002Fapplication\u002Fpdf\u002F2015-09\u002Fcp150099en.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fcuria.europa.eu\u002Fjcms\u002Fupload\u002Fdocs … \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theparliamentmagazine.eu\u002Farticles\u002Fnews\u002Feuropean-court-justice-rules-travel-time-should-be-counted-working-time\">https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theparliamentmagazine.eu\u002Farticles\u002Fnews\u002Feuropean-court-justice-rules … \u003C\u002Fa>  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
