The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments initially made in 2013.

Articles 3 and 5 of the Convention. National policy on home work. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s reference to section 15(2) of the Labour Code (Law No. 7961 of 12 July 1995), as amended, which provides in general terms that homeworkers enjoy the same rights as employees working at enterprises. Considering that the legislation does not elaborate further than this single provision on home-based work, the Committee requests the Government to provide additional information on any consultations that may have so far been undertaken with the social partners in order to discuss the adoption and implementation of a national home work policy, having also regard to the requirements of Articles 6 and 9 of the Convention regarding the need to ensure equality of treatment between homeworkers and other wage earners and effectively protect homeworkers’ rights through a system of inspection and sanctions.
