Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 25. The Committee last examined this case, which concerned allegations of interference in trade union activities and with trade union assets, at its June 1998 meeting [see 310th Report paras. 15-17]. On this occasion, the Committee repeated its requests to the Government for it to determine the criteria for the division of immoveable assets formerly owned by the trade unions in consultations with the trade unions concerned should they be unable to reach an agreement among themselves, and fix a clear and reasonable time frame for the completion of the division of the property once the period of negotiation has passed. The Committee also requested the Government to forward a copy of the decision of the Constitutional Court regarding the assessment of constitutionality of the provisions of article 38 of the Act on Associations.
2. 26. In a communication dated 25 February 2000, the Government sends a copy of the decision of the Constitutional Court which was delivered on 3 February 2000 and in which the Court stated that article 38 of the Act on Associations, as a transitional provision, was not contrary to the Constitution.
3. 27. The Committee takes note of the contents of the decision. It requests once again the Government to keep it informed of the remaining above-noted matters.
