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:

The Committee refers the Government to its observation, and takes note of the Government’s replies to its previous comments.

In particular, the Committee notes that as a result of the work done by the National Labour Council (CNT), the new Labour Code (Act No. 015/2002 of 16 October 2002) has been adopted; an Act (No. 016/2002 of 16 October 2002) on the establishment, organization and working of labour courts has been adopted, as have two Decrees, one to determine arrangements for setting the guaranteed inter-occupational minimum wage (SMIG), minimum family allowances and the value of housing, and the other to fix the SMIG. The Committee notes that the CNT’s work in 2004 and 2005 also generated numerous regulations on other matters covered by the Convention.

Organization and working of the labour administration system. The Committee notes the provisions of the Labour Code (sections 185 et seq.) that define the organization and operation of the labour administration system, and set the rules and principles governing industrial relations at national, regional and enterprise level. It would be grateful if the Government would provide an up to date organizational chart of this system together with a copy of Ministerial Order No. 12/CAB.MIN/TPS/118/2005 of 26 October 2005 on the working of the National Labour Council, and a copy of any texts issued under the Labour Code providing for the establishment of new bodies to be responsible for matters pertaining to certain activities of labour administration.

Lastly, the Committee notes that the Government again requests technical assistance in the form of an in-depth audit of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security by an expert, with a view to determining new approaches to reinvigorating the departments. The Government does not indicate that it has taken official action for this purpose. Information available at the Office appears to indicate that a technical cooperation project in the province of Katanga entitled “Improving Governance in the Mines of Katanga” has been set up to promote decent work in the mining and iron and steel sectors in the province, in particular by improving conditions of work and promoting social dialogue. It appears that there are to be measures to reinforce labour administration in this context. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on any steps taken for the abovementioned purposes and on any results obtained. Please also provide any relevant documents.

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

Re-establishment of the exercise of the right to organize. The Committee notes that the work of the National Labour Council in 2004 gave rise to the adoption, among other regulatory texts on workers’ right of representation, of Ministerial Order No. 12/CAB/MIN/TPS/VTB/053/2004 of 12 October 2004 lifting the suspension of trade union elections in enterprises and establishments of all types. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the impact of this Order on industrial relations.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.

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

The Committee notes the Government’s report of 1996 replying to its previous comments. It also notes the appended regulatory texts including those of 1969 referred to previously, one concerning the organization of the National Manpower Service and the other, the organizational chart of the National Employment Service, as well as the following: Order of 28 May 1993 accrediting the Institute of Safety, Health and Improvement of the Workplace (ISHE); Order No. 006-94 of 23 November 1994 repealing Order No. 64 of 14 June 1994 on the functioning of bodies responsible for the prevention of occupational risks; Order of 29 April 1996 repealing the Order of 6 July 1993 establishing the name, registered office and territorial coverage of the general labour inspectorate; Orders Nos. 0027-73 of 28 August 1973 and 007-94 of 29 November 1994 concerning, respectively, the operation and the tripartite composition of the National Labour Council; Order No. 0033-74 of 19 February 1974 (revised) establishing the technical directorate of the Office for the Supervision of Safety and Health at Work; Order of 9 July 1993 establishing a tripartite committee to be responsible for revising the Labour Code and the new inter-occupational collective labour agreement (CCINT). The Committee would be grateful if the Government would state whether these texts are still in force or have been amended or superseded and, in particular, whether the abovementioned tripartite bodies have actually been established and are operating and, if so, to provide information on their operation and the results of their work to date.

In reply to the question of the extension of the labour administration system to the categories of workers covered by Article 7 of the Convention, the Committee notes that the Employment Directorate of the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare has an employment promotion which is responsible for studying and developing the cooperative movement in the informal sector and establishing multipurpose training facilities for the sector. The Government is asked to provide information on how this service operates in practice and to specify the categories of workers considered as non-wage earners who are concerned by training facilities which already exist or are planned.

Lastly, noting the Government’s request for technical assistance addressed to the ILO in 1997, in which it suggests that an exploratory mission should precede and determine the intervention of experts with a view to an in-depth audit of the Ministry of Labour, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would send available information on the results of the contacts made with the ILO’s competent technical assistance bodies. The Government is also asked to provide details of the present position and operation of the labour administration system, giving the names and describing the nature of public and private bodies and institutions which perform or contribute to the performance of labour administration duties.

Article 7 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information that an employment promotion project was set up within the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance which, among other things, aims at studying and developing cooperative arrangements, including the setting up of multi-purpose training structures in the informal sector. The Committee understands that even this ad hoc activity is currently hindered by financial difficulties. It hopes future reports will contain information on the possibilities in due course of extending the functions of the system of labour administration as a whole (and not employment promotion or training aspects only), by stages if necessary, to tenants, sharecroppers and other agricultural workers; self-employed workers in the informal sector; members of cooperatives; and those working under other communal arrangements.

Article 10, paragraph 2. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided on the financial resources allocated to the staff of the labour administration. It notes further that the National Sovereign Conference has recommended the restructuring of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance to enable it better to fulfil its mandate. The Committee hopes this recommendation will be implemented soon, perhaps with the assistance of the ILO, and that the Government will provide details of developments.

The Committee also again requests copies of the following: Departmental Order No. 69/0021 of 10 August 1969 establishing the organization and the function of the National Manpower Service; Departmental Order No. 69/0022 of 10 August 1969 fixing the organizational chart of the external services of the National Manpower Service; the Collective Agreement on National Interoccupational Labour (revised 19 March 1985); Organic Group of the Department of Labour and Social Security.

Article 10, paragraph 2. The Committee has noted the information provided under Convention No. 81 concerning bugetary difficulties. Please include in the next report information on the financial resources made available to the staff of the labour administration as a whole for the performance of their duties.

So that the Committee can obtain a better impression of how the Convention is applied, it would be glad if the Government would forward one copy each of the following: Departmental Order No. 69/0021 of 10 August 1969 establishing the organisation and the function of the National Manpower Service; Departmental Order No. 69/0022 of 10 August 1969 fixing the organisational chart of the external services of the National Manpower Service; the Collective Agreement on National Interoccupational Labour (revised 19 March 1985); Organic Group of the Department of Labour and Social Security.
