The Committee takes note of the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. It observes that the information supplied is insufficient to enable it to assess how effect is given to some provisions of the Convention. It therefore asks the Government to provide further information on the following points.

Article 2 of the Convention.  The Committee asks the Government to describe in detail the procedures enabling effective consultation of the representative organizations concerning the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

Article 5.  The Committee appreciates the information supplied in the report. It hopes that the Government will be able to provide detailed information on the consultations held during the period covered by the next report on each of the matters set out in paragraph 1. It wishes to recall in this connection that some of the subjects (replies to questionnaires (a), submission to the competent authorities (b), reports to be submitted to the ILO (d)) require annual consultations, whereas others (re-examination of unratified Conventions (c), proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions (e)) require less frequent consideration. The Government is also asked to provide information on the frequency of the consultations and to indicate the nature of any resulting reports or recommendations.

Article 6.  The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether the representative organizations have been consulted on the publication of an annual report on the working of the consultation procedures described in the report. If so, please indicate the outcome of such consultations.
