The Committee notes the Government's report.

The Committee recalls its previous comments which referred to the need for the legislation to provide sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions against anti-union discrimination and acts of interference by employers or their organizations in trade union affairs. In this respect, the Committee had noted that a draft text to amend the Labour Code of December 1996 strengthened the measures and sanctions to protect workers against acts of anti-union discrimination and/or interference, with fines ranging from 30 to 100 times the highest statutory minimum monthly wage (section 390 of the draft text).

The Committee notes that the Government refers to the draft text of the above Labour Code and indicates that the reform measures have not been completed by the social partners.

In these conditions, the Committee hopes that in the very near future the necessary legislative amendments will be adopted. The Committee requests the Government to inform it in its next report of any measures adopted in this respect.
