The EU directive states you can freely work up to 48 hours per week before you can request action be taken by your employer to reduce hours. This does not include lunchtimes and breaks as not working hours even if they are paid...you also need to read the employment contract you have signed

A lot of employment contracts include clauses stating that you may be required to work 'unrecorded overtime' or similar, which effectively means there is no limit on the amount of hours your employee can ask you to work.

It all depends on what contract you sign. To work more than the EU regulations you simply sign a form and you can work as long as you want or the job needs you to.
