1. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In reply to previous comments, the Government indicates in the report received in June 2006 that assistance from the ILO has been required for the proper setting up of a consultative committee. The Government points out that it is a very small country and that all parties knew each other personally with daily telephone consultations and meetings between officials of the Government and the social partners. It also emphasizes that this mechanism has worked well over the years and that the consultations will be kept as informal as possible enabling the partners to speak candidly about concerns and possible solutions. The Committee welcomes this approach and would appreciate receiving in the Government’s next report detailed information on the content of the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee further hopes that the Government will receive the advice and assistance that can be offered by the competent units of the ILO and that it will be in a position to describe the progress achieved by the Government and the social partners in pursuing effective tripartite consultations on the matters covered by the Convention.
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).
