The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Article 4. The Committee had noted that a draft law on the rules governing collective bargaining, the provisions of which, in general terms, were consistent with the Convention, was before the Assembly of the Republic. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the draft law in question is still before the National Assembly. The Committee asks the Government to inform it of any development in the processing of this draft law and to provide further information on the conciliation procedure mentioned therein, for example, on its duration and the possibility of taking collective action once the procedure has been completed (section 14 of the draft law).

The Committee had also noted the Government’s indication in a previous report that civil servants are able to bargain collectively with regard to their conditions of work. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the applicable legislation and to send a copy of the relevant provisions.
