The Committee notes with interest the Government's first report in respect of the application of the Convention. The Committee notes the consultations held on the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention take place once a year within the Advisory Committee on Labour and Social Legislation whose composition is tripartite as required by the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would describe the consultative procedures implemented within the above Committee and to define the manner in which it ensures that the nature and form of these consultations guarantee the application of the provisions of Article 2. The Committee also requests the Government to provide more detailed information in respect of the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, and to indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of Decree No. 95/0624/MTASE/DNTLS/95, referred to several times in the Government's first report and, where possible, a copy of the reports drawn up at the close of the meetings of the Advisory Committee on Labour and Social Legislation with respect to the matters concerning the activities of the ILO as set out in the Convention. Finally, the Government is asked to provide, where necessary, information on any progress made concerning the training of participants on the consultative procedures provided for under Article 4, paragraph 2, of the Convention.
