Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. Observations from trade union confederations. The Committee notes the detailed report from the Government received in October 2012 and the new observations from the National Confederation of Trade Union Unity (CNUS), the Autonomous Confederation of Workers’ Unions (CASC) and the National Confederation of Dominican Workers (CNTD). In the observations sent to the Government in October 2012, the trade union confederations again express their concern at the fact that they did not receive the reports and questionnaires due from the Government. According to the trade union confederations, no institutional procedure was established for tripartite participation in the adoption, submission, ratification and application of international labour standards. The Government states in its report that it regrets that the trade union confederations have not received the reports by the deadline and in the form established by the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government undertakes to hold tripartite consultations with respect to the drafting of the reports called for under Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee also observes that the consultations on international labour standards required by the Convention are not included in the information provided for by the Government on the consultations held in the Labour Advisory Council in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The Committee invites the Government to ensure full compliance with the tripartite consultations required when preparing draft reports on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d) of the Convention). It also invites the Government to provide detailed information, in the next report due in 2013, on the consultations held on the matters relating to international labour standards provided for in Article 5(1) of the Convention.
