The Committee notes the attached reports and information provided by the Government on the number of tripartite consultations held by the Icelandic Tripartite ILO Committee (ITIC) from 1 June 2018 to 31 May 2021 on questions concerning the items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and questions arising out of reports to the ILO. The Government indicates that the ITIC has taken part in the preparation of the reports delivered by the Minister of Social Affairs and Children to the Icelandic Parliament (Althing) on instruments adopted by the International Labour Conference.
