If I've understood correctly, they're checking whether you will sign it prior to actually becoming an employee? If so, draw your own conclusions.
I refused to agree to the opt out at at my present and previous employer, without any negative repercussions.

AFAIK, if you sign the opt-out then Euro law doesn't applyand they can have you doing any hours *they* want.
If you refuse to sign, which you are very much within your rights to do,
then your employer must limit your hours to 48 a week, unless exceptional
circumstances. This usually means you have to fill in a weekly timesheet,
so they can keep track.
Depends on the job, but for example, I'm sure no one wants safety critical
work done by tired, stressed and overworked employees.
