The Committee notes the Government’s report. It further notes the Government’s indication that under Article 175(I)(e) of the Federal Labour Law of 1970 (as amended), the work of young persons under 16 years of age shall be prohibited in dangerous or unhealthy occupations. The Committee asks the Government to clarify whether under the national legislation or decisions of courts, the work on vessels is considered as dangerous or unhealthy. Please also clarify whether the General Directorate of the Federal Labour Inspection has the authority to inspect the labour conditions on board ships and whether there are any labour inspectors specializing in the inspection of such conditions (Part III of the report form).
