The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its 2008 observation which read as follows:

Article 2 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. In its report received in January 2008, the Government indicates that in compliance with the Convention an Advisory Technical Committee on International Labour Standards, composed of representatives of the administration, unions and employers, was established by Order No. 788 of 6 September 1999. The Committee refers to its previous comments in which it noted the Government’s statement that, due to a lack of adequate financial resources, the Advisory Technical Committee was still not operational. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide information on the steps taken to establish the Advisory Technical Committee on International Labour Standards, with a description of the consultation procedures established within the Committee in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention.

Article 4(2). Training. The Government indicates that the necessary training for participants in the consultation procedures is provided by the State. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on training for persons participating in consultation procedures, with an indication of whether arrangements have been made or are envisaged to finance the necessary training for such participants.

Article 5(1). Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Government indicates that the consultations cover general conditions of labour and government replies to questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference. The Committee recalls that, under the terms of Article 5(1), tripartite consultations also have to be held on the submission to the National Assembly of the instruments adopted by the Conference, the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and of Recommendations, reports on ratified Conventions and the denunciation of ratified Conventions. The Committee refers to its comments on the constitutional obligation of submission and requests the Government to provide detailed information on the tripartite consultations held, including those in the Advisory Technical Committee on International Labour Standards, on each of the issues covered by Article 5(1) during the period covered by the next report.

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