Article 3 of the Convention. Policy to improve the working conditions of workers in hotels and restaurants. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s succinct first report on the application of the Convention. Taking into account the ongoing process of national reconstruction and also the unstable security situation in the country, the Committee does not intend to address any specific comments with regard to existing legislation, but would appreciate if the Government would keep the Office informed of any developments – legislative, administrative or others – concerning the implementation of the Convention, especially the formulation of a policy designed to improve the working conditions of workers in the hotel and catering sector, or the amendment of social security legislation extending its coverage to temporary workers. The Committee also requests the Government to continue providing information on any progress made with respect to the new draft Labour Code, which was prepared in 2007 and which is currently in the process of adoption.
