The Committee notes the Government’s report.

The Committee notes the comments made by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) in a communication dated 10 August 2006, concerning some issues raised in previous comments, some new information (new legislation is said to have been adopted providing that a single trade union or joint delegation of unions in the public sector has to comprise at least 25 per cent of the workforce to conclude a collective agreement) and raising specific violations of the Convention, including anti-union discrimination (transfers and dismissals), unilateral annulment of collective agreement, and interference in trade union internal affairs. The Committee requests the Government to transmit its observations on the comments made by the ICFTU and on the pending comments of the Committee in its next reports due for the regular reporting cycle in 2007.
