Referring also to its observation, the Committee notes that the Government’s report on the application of the Convention has not been received. It notes the detailed information provided in the annual labour inspection report for 2012, received by the Office on 19 August 2013. The Committee will examine the information in the annual report together with the Government’s report, once it has been received. The Committee 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
Article 3(1) of the Convention. Labour inspection and child labour. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government and the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (TÜRK-IŞ) on inspections made within the project on combating child labour which is carried out with the collaboration of the social partners Turkish Confederation of Employer Associations (TİSK) and TÜRK IŞ, in addition to regional labour inspectors. The Committee also notes from the Government’s report the signing of a protocol of cooperation on 13 January 2011 that provides for an obligation of information exchange between the Labour Inspection Board and the Provincial National Education Directorate. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on the activities carried out by the labour inspection in this area and on the practical implementation of the cooperation protocol and its impact.
Article 7(3). Training of labour inspectors. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments on the preparation of the Labour Inspection Board “In-service training directive” which has been in force since November 2009 and on the number of participants and working days spent on training during 2010. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would communicate a copy of the training directive as well as information on the particular subjects covered by the training seminars.
Article 28. Legislation. Further to its observation, the Committee notes the clarification provided by the Government as to the legislative pieces that lay the basis for the labour inspection system in Turkey. The Committee requests the Government to provide the Office with a copy of the Labour Inspection Guideline, appendix to Circular No. 2006/9 of the Ministry and the “Guideline on Designed Inspections”.
