Articles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the Convention. Referring to section 16(2) of the Annual Holidays Act (272/1973), as amended by Act No. 65/2001, the Committee requests the Government to supply examples of collective agreements which, according to the amendment, may regulate the timing, calculation, accumulation, division and remuneration of holidays differently from the relevant provisions in the Annual Holidays Act.

The Government indicates that it appointed a tripartite committee in March 2001 to prepare, until the end of October of 2003, a total reform of the Annual Holidays Act, taking into consideration recent social and labour market developments and changes in both the national and European Community legislation. The Committee asks the Government to continue to inform it on any further legislative developments related to annual holidays with pay and to supply a copy of the relevant text when it is adopted.
