1. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that Mauritius ratified the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87), on 1 April 2005. The Committee also notes the information provided on the consultations envisaged in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, and, in particular, the consultations that have taken place with a view to the ratification of the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129), and the Protocol of 1995 to the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (Article 5, paragraph 1(c)). The Committee welcomes the fact that tripartite consultations have led to the ratification of Conventions and invites the Government to continue providing detailed information on the consultations covered by the Convention.

2. Working of consultative procedures. In its report, the Government indicates that the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment has been unable to publish an annual report but that, with the agreement of the social partners, particulars on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention will be available on the Ministry web site (Article 6).
