Repetition

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in October 2008, which contains information similar to the information provided in the report received in September 2006. The Committee notes that tripartite consultations were held to discuss the amendments to the Labour Code which pertain, inter alia, to the organization of the work and meetings of the Labour Council. Accordingly, the Labour Council has not been convened and will only be composed after the adoption of the new Labour Code. The Committee notes that Convention No. 185 was ratified in October 2008. The Committee again asks the Government to include in its next report substantive information on the consultations held on the items concerning ILO activities, as specified in Article 5(1) of the Convention. Please include information on the frequency of such consultations, and the nature of reports or recommendations made as a result thereof.

Article 3. Free choice of representatives and equal representation. The Committee requests the Government to include in its report details on how the representatives of workers and employers participating in the consultations covered by the Convention were selected.

Article 4(1) and (2). Administrative support and training. The Committee would appreciate receiving updated information on the manner in which administrative support is provided for the procedures operated for the purpose of the Convention and information on the arrangements made or envisaged for the financing of any necessary training of participants in the consultative procedures.

Article 6. Operation of the consultative procedures. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate in its next report whether consultations were held on the working of the procedures covered by the Convention.
