Part V of the report form. The Committee notes the brief report supplied by the Government in January 2007. The Government indicated that the executive agency for the application of the Convention is the Federal Maritime and River Transport Agency. This agency participated in the conclusion of sectoral wage agreements for the organization of the maritime transport for the period 2006–09. The Committee recalls the importance of first reports in facilitating an examination of the application of ratified Conventions. It, therefore, requests the Government to make a special effort when preparing its next report and to provide, in respect of each of the provisions of the Convention, all the information required by the report form including indications on the results achieved at the tripartite level in improving the efficiency of work in ports.
