The Committee notes the Government's report.

The Committee recalls that a distinction must be drawn between, on the one hand, public servants who by their functions are directly employed in the administration of the State who may be excluded from the scope of the Convention and, on the other hand, all other persons employed by the Government, by public enterprises or by autonomous public institutions, who should benefit from the guarantees provided for in the Convention.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report how civil government officials and municipal officials not directly employed in the administration of the State who are not covered by the Labour Code (section 3) can legally benefit from the guarantees provided for in the Convention (protection against anti-union discrimination and acts of interference and right to collective bargaining), and to communicate the text of any legal provisions extending the application of the Convention to those workers.
