The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2004 direct request, which read as follows:

1. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In its report received in October 2004, the Government indicates that consultations have taken place with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Labour and the representative organizations of employers and workers on the amendment of certain provisions of the national legislation and the recognition of bargaining agents by employers. It indicates that the Prime Minister has undertaken to meet the social partners once every quarter. The Committee refers to its previous comments and once again requests the Government to provide detailed information on the consultations held, particularly within the Joint Tripartite Advisory Committee, on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention during the period covered by the report, with an indication of the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting from these consultations.

2. Operation of the consultative procedures. The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate whether the representative organizations have been consulted on the issue of the production of an annual report on the working of the procedures covered by the Convention and to indicate, where appropriate, the outcome of these consultations (Article 6).
