The Committee takes note of the Government's report and the enclosed new laws and drafts. Considering that Ukraine is in the process of revising its legislation, the Committee would like to address some points.

1. Article 1 of the Convention. Noting that except for dismissal the legislation does not grant workers adequate and specific protection against other acts of anti-union discrimination during the employment relationship, such as transfers, demotions and any other prejudicial acts, the Committee requests the Government to take measures to amend the legislation in this respect.

2. Article 2. Noting that the legislation does not grant workers' and employers' organizations adequate protection against acts of interference by each other in the establishment, functioning or administration of the workers' or employers' organizations, the Committee requests the Government to take measures to amend the legislation in this respect.

3. The Committee recalls that the legislation should provide effective and expeditious procedures with sufficiently dissuasive sanctions to ensure its application in practice against the acts mentioned in the previous paragraphs.

The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or contemplated to give full compliance to the Convention.
