Follow-up to the recommendations of the tripartite committee (representation made under article 24 of the Constitution of the ILO)

The Committee notes that the Governing Body at its 322nd Session, in November 2014, approved the report of the tripartite committee set up to examine the representation made by the Netherlands Trade Union Confederation (FNV), the National Federation of Christian Trade Unions (CNV) and the Trade Union Federation for Professionals (VCP) (formerly the Trade Union Confederation of Middle and Higher Level Employees’ Unions (MHP)) under article 24 of the ILO Constitution, alleging non-observance by the Netherlands of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), the Convention, and the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155) (GB.322/INS/13/7). The Governing Body entrusted the Committee to follow up on the application of the Convention with regard to the issues raised in the report in respect of the application of the Convention and Conventions Nos 81 and 155.

The Committee requests that the Government provide information on the issues raised by the tripartite committee for their examination by the Committee at its next session. In this regard, it also refers the Government to the information requested in relation to the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), and asks it to provide specific information in answer to those requests concerning labour inspection in agriculture, where applicable.

The Committee notes the information in the Government’s report received on 29 August 2014, in reply to the Committee’s previous comments. The Committee notes that the questions dealt with in the above representation correspond, to a large extent, to the questions dealt with in the previous comments made by the Committee. The Committee will therefore examine the relevant information provided in the Government’s report at its next session, together with the information provided by the Government in response to the issues raised by the tripartite committee.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
