The Committee takes note of the Government’s first report.

Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to send a copy of Act No. 14 regulating the Labour Inspectorate.

Article 4. The Committee notes that, according to the Government, there is no trade union tradition in the country, so no workers’ trade unions are yet in operation. The Committee recalls that the existence of trade unions is a necessary prerequisite for the provisions of Article 4 of the Convention to be applied, and requests the Government to send information in its next report on the measures taken or contemplated in order to create conditions conducive to the formation of trade unions.

Article 6. The Committee observes that section 6 of Act No. 12/1992 of 1 October 1992 on trade unions and collective employment relations establishes that the organization of officials of the public administration will be regulated by a special Act. The Committee requests the Government to state whether the above Act has been adopted and, if so, to provide a copy of it. The Committee furthermore requests the Government to send detailed information on the application of the Convention in respect of public servants who are not engaged in the administration of the State.
