The Committee notes the Government's second report. It notes in particular Presidential Decree No. 278 of 15 July 1995 which, amongst other things, established the National Council on Labour and Social Issues. The Committee notes that the membership of the Council is tripartite and that the social partners are represented on an equal footing. It also notes that the attributions of the Council include the formulation of proposals with a view to the ratification of international labour Conventions. The Committee notes the information in the report on the matters discussed in the Council in 1996, and trusts that the Government will shortly be in a position to provide information on consultations addressing the matters listed in paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the Convention.
