DISPLAYINFrench - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee notes that the observations made in January 1998 by the General Union of Workers (UGT), whose allegations relate to the scope of labour inspection, which is considered too limited; the insufficiency of the human and material resources available to the inspectorate; the need to reform the functions of labour inspectors; the need for a statistical evaluation of the effectiveness of the inspectorate in terms of the legal action commenced and brought to completion and the penalties imposed; and the absence of measures to promote collaboration between the labour inspectorate and employers and workers or their organizations.

Noting that the Government has not provided a reply to the observations of the UGT, the Committee hopes that it will reply to them in its next report and that it will provide full information on the application of the Convention in law and in practice, taking into account developments in labour inspection following the adoption of Act No. 24/1997 respecting labour inspection and social security.
