The Committee notes the comments made by the Confederation of Trade Unions of the Republic of Moldova (CSRM) and the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) in communications dated 13 January and 31 August 2005, respectively, concerning the application of the Convention. The comments of both unions concern legislative issues raised in the previous direct request of the Committee, and more particularly to the absence of specific sanctions to be imposed for violation of trade union rights, as well as the violation of trade union rights in practice, as alleged in Case No. 2317 examined by the Committee on Freedom of Association in its 335th Report. The Committee requests the Government to provide its observations thereon.

The Committee will examine other matters raised in its previous comments (see 2004 direct request, 75th Session) in respect of the application of the Convention during the regular reporting cycle of 2006.
