The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

The Committee notes that the Joint Consultative Committee has met several times to debate the new labour legislation. It wishes to recall that the tripartite consultations referred to in the Convention are essentially designed to promote the implementation of international labour standards and concern, in particular, the matters defined and set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to supply full and detailed information on any tripartite consultations held, including their frequency, on the subject of:

(a)  government replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and government comments on proposed texts to be discussed by the Conference;

(b)  the proposals to be made to the competent authority or authorities in connection with the submission of Conventions and Recommendations pursuant to article 19 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organization;

(c)  the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given, to consider what measures might be taken to promote their implementation and ratification as appropriate;

(d)  questions arising out of reports to be made to the International Labour Office under article 22 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organization;

(e)  proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
