The Committee takes note of the Government’s report received on 29 August 2007 and the replies to its previous comments, as well as the communication by the National Federation of Christian Trade Unions (CNV) on the new Act on Working Conditions. It also notes the communications from the Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO–NCW) dated 6 August 2007, and the Netherlands Federation of Trade Unions (FNV) dated 30 August 2007, forwarded by the ILO to the Government on 17 September 2007 and 13 September 2007, respectively. The Committee requests the Government to send to the ILO any comments it deems appropriate on the points raised by the above organizations so that the Committee can examine them together with the information contained in the report. It would be grateful if the Government would also provide a copy of the Act on Working Conditions (Health and Safety), which it indicates came into force on 1 January 2007.
