The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition
The Committee notes the International Trade Union Confederation’s (ITUC’s) communications of 2010, 2012 and 2013, which refer to obstacles to the exercise of collective bargaining rights and in particular the requirement in practice of very high representation thresholds. The Committee further notes that the ITUC also refers to compulsory arbitration in the framework of collective bargaining and of difficulties in the export processing zones (EPZs) and, finally, restrictions to trade union rights and anti-union discrimination practices in certain enterprises or institutions. The Committee requests the Government to provide its observations thereon.
