Article 1 of the Convention. Applicable legislation. The Committee notes the texts giving effect to the Convention mentioned in the Government’s report. It nevertheless observes that these texts do not contain provisions on the application of Article 1 of the Convention, an issue raised in its previous comments. While the Government refers to Chapters VI and VII of the International Convention for the Safety of Human Life at Sea (SOLAS) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), it does not indicate the national text implementing Regulation 2 of Chapter VI, which entered into force on 1 July 2016, addressing the issue of the verified gross tonnage of freight containers. The Committee reiterates its previous request to the Government to indicate any national text implementing Regulation 2 of Chapter VI of the SOLAS Convention, which would constitute a measure contributing to the implementation of Article 1 of the Convention, and to provide a copy.
