Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report, received in October 2009, in reply to the observation of 2007. The Government indicates that the members of the three tripartite bodies – the Labour Advisory Commission, the National Commission for Wage Studies and the Occupational Safety and Health Committee – have been appointed, and that a protocol calling for a 30-month period of social concord was signed in May 2009. The Government also indicates that the protocol, the participation in the 98th Session of the International Labour Conference and also the follow-up to the activities of the programme to promote the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (PAMODEC) were based on tripartite consultations. A training workshop on social dialogue was also held during 2009. The Committee requests the Government to communicate further information in its next report on the working of the advisory bodies, particularly the Labour Advisory Commission. It requests the Government to provide updated information on the tripartite consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention, indicating the frequency of such consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations relating to international labour standards.
