The Committee notes the joint observations made by the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) and the Confederation of German Employers’ Associations (BDA) on the application of the Convention, received on 1 September 2014.

In addition, the Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous comments.

Articles 7 and 10 of the Convention. Shared training network between six federated states (Länder). The Committee notes that in order to retain professional competences in a situation where the number of labour inspectors is decreasing due to budgetary constraints, six Länder (Mecklenburg Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Thuringia and Berlin) have joined forces to create a shared training network designed to provide uniform training to labour inspectors on the basis of a harmonized curriculum. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the training provided to labour inspectors (content, participation, frequency, duration) in the framework of the shared network and on the impact of such training on inspection activities in the individual Länder.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
