The Committee notes the Government’s report and the information supplied in response to its direct request.

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee notes that under section 161, paragraph 2, of the new Labour Code of 2002, an executive municipal body shall establish exceptions to the ordinary weekly rest days. The Committee recalls that possible exceptions may be authorized only after consultation with the representative organizations of employers and workers, where they exist, and account must be taken of humanitarian and economic considerations. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether there is a procedure in place which includes consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations on such exceptions.
