Articles 2 and 5(1)(c) of the Convention. Effective Tripartite Consultations. Examination of unratified Conventions. The Committee notes the detailed report provided by the Government for the period ending in May 2018. The Government reports that consultations were held to consider ratification of several Conventions. The Committee notes with interest that the Government is envisaging ratification of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and that the formulation of a national employment policy (NEP) is under way. In this respect, the Government indicates that the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations, Employment and Training (hereinafter MLIRET), in collaboration with the ILO, organized a tripartite workshop on 22 and 23 May 2018 aiming to conduct consultations for the formulation of the NEP, to brief all the constituents on the status of the NEP drafting process, and ultimately to agree on key priority areas and structure of the NEP. The Committee notes that all the constituents expressed their strong commitment to this process and agreed with the need for a NEP for Mauritius. Subsequently, it was agreed that a tripartite NEP drafting oversight committee should be set up in order to ensure that the NEP formulation process would be based on wholesome consultations throughout. The Committee notes that the MLIRET is currently in the process of setting up the drafting committee with a view to starting the process. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the tripartite consultations held on the matters concerning international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) (a) through (e) of the Convention, particularly consultations on the prospects of ratifying the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), a governance Convention.
