The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 2 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee recalls that Order No. 45-2592 does not explicitly recognize the right to organize of bailiffs, as employers, and that their compulsory membership of the National Chamber of Bailiffs, which enjoys exclusive competence for collective bargaining, raises issues of compatibility with the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that no measure has been taken in this respect as the issue of the right to collective bargaining of the occupational organizations of bailiffs is the subject of an appeal to the Council of State. The Committee requests that the Government keep it informed of any new developments in this respect and to provide a copy of the ruling of the Council of State as soon as it is issued.

The Committee also recalls that the Orders of 2 November 1945 governing the status of other ministerial officers contain provisions similar to those of Order No. 45-2592, thereby raising issues of compatibility with the Convention (Orders Nos. 45-2590, 45-2591 and 45-2593). The Committee asks the Government to provide information on this matter in its next report.
