The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous comment which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes that effective consultations are facilitated through the Joint Tripartite Advisory Committee and that, in addition, frequent consultations between workers’ and employers’ representatives ensure dialogue and participation. It requests the Government to provide particulars on the nature and form of procedures within the Joint Tripartite Advisory Committee.

Article 5. The Committee notes that according to the Government’s report, consultations are held frequently to review the labour legislation. It requests the Government to supply full and detailed information on the consultations held during the period covered by the next report on each of the questions set forth in paragraph 1. It wishes to recall in this connection that some of the subjects listed (replies to questionnaires (a), submissions to the competent authorities (b), reports to be made to the International Labour Office (d)) involve annual consultation, while others (re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations (c), proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions (e)) require less frequent examination. The Government is also requested to provide details on the nature of any reports and recommendations which arise therefrom.

Article 6. The Committee notes that no annual report is produced on the working of the procedures. It hopes that the Government will consult with the representative organizations on the need to produce an annual report on the working of the consultation procedures, as the Government has expressed in its previous reports, and that it will be able to communicate in its next report information on the results of such consultation.

Part V of the report form. Please add a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in your country, giving, for example, extracts from official reports and any other information bearing on the practical application of the Convention.
