1. The Committee notes the Government’s latest report on the application of the Convention. It notes with interest that in February 2001 all the trade union organizations and most employers’ organizations concluded a Social Pact for 2001 which includes, among the activities envisaged for 2001, the revision of the labour legislation and the ratification of certain ILO Conventions. A tripartite surveillance committee has been established to follow up the application of the Pact. The Committee also notes that the Government issued Order No. 314/2001 on the establishment, organization and operation of social dialogue commissions in ministries and prefectures. These commissions meet monthly in ministries and the participants include representatives of employers and workers and of other sectors of civil society. Please indicate whether the above commissions hold consultations on the matters covered by the Convention and, if so, provide information on the consultations held during the period covered by the above report and the results obtained.

2. Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report concerning paragraph 1(a), (b) and (d). It requests the Government to provide information on the content of the consultations held on the matters covered by the above subparagraphs during the period covered by the next report. With regard to subparagraphs (b) and (c), it notes that a first consultation meeting on the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations was held in October 1999 in the context of a special session of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) devoted to the promotion and application of international labour standards. According to the Government, during the above session, the possibility was examined of ratifying certain Conventions and one of the results obtained was the ratification of Convention No. 182. A new round of tripartite consultations was organized at another meeting of the ECOSOC in April 2001 and the ratification of certain ILO Conventions currently continues to be the subject of tripartite consultations. Please indicate the Conventions for which the ratification is the subject of consultations during the period covered by the next report, and the results achieved.
