Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates that the tripartite Platform for National Dialogue “Karsou ta Avansa” provides the framework for effective consultation among the tripartite constituents, comprising the Council of Ministers, the boards of the two umbrella trade unions, Sentral di Sindikatonan di Karsou (SSK) and Central General di Trahadonan di Corsow (CGTC), the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Curaçao Trade and Industry Association (VBC). The Committee notes that the information provided by the Government on tripartite consultations within the Platform for National Dialogue concerns matters of an exclusively national character. The Committee recalls that, while effective tripartite consultation in relation to international labour standards supports tripartite cooperation at the national level, the objective of the Convention is to promote effective tripartite consultation in relation to the matters relating to international labour standards set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Committee therefore reiterates its request for detailed information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations in relation to the matters covered under Article 5(1): the Government’s replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference, particularly with regard to the Government’s comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference (Article 5(1)(a)); consultations held with the social partners on the proposals made to the competent authorities upon the submission of instruments adopted by the Conference (Article 5(1)(b)); tripartite consultations on the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (Article 5(1)(c)); and on denunciation of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(e)).

Article 4. Administrative support and financing of training. The Committee notes that the Government’s report provides no information concerning the application of this Article of the Convention. Recalling its previous comments, the Committee once again invites the Government to provide information on whether administrative support is provided by the Government with respect to the consultation procedures covered by the Convention and whether any arrangements have been made for the financing of training of participants in consultation procedures.

Article 6. Operation of the consultative procedures. Recalling its previous comments, the Committee reiterates its request that the Government indicate whether, in accordance with Article 6, the representative organizations have been consulted in the preparation of an annual report on the working of the consultation procedures provided for in the Convention and, if so, to indicate the outcome of these consultations.
