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

1. 57. At its March 2001 meeting, the Committee made the following recommendations on pending issues [see 324th Report, para. 458]:
   • – with regard to the allegations concerning the enterprise Oropel (anti-union reprimands addressed to the trade union official Mr. Roberto Durán in the context of trade union persecution) and to the enterprise Roble (harassment of the trade unionist Mr. Luis Pérez Jarquín, blaming him alone for a poor harvest), the Committee notes that during the conciliation proceedings the trade union representative asked that these matters be transferred to the General Labour Inspectorate. The Committee asks the Government to keep it informed of the results of the investigation conducted into this matter;
   • – as regards the allegations concerning the banana enterprise Ceibo (persecution of SITRAP members), the Committee urges the Government to ensure that this matter is promptly investigated.
2. 58. With its communications of 25 May and 24 August 2001, the Government forwarded the text of the administrative decisions that concluded the case of Mr. Roberto Durán (as unfair labour practices were not found to exist), dismissed the complaint relating to the alleged harassment of Mr. Luis Pérez Jarquín (considering that the facts denounced did not correspond to acts of anti-union persecution but to job-related activities involving the internal administration of the enterprise) and dismissed the complaint relating to the persecution of SITRAP members and the administrative appeal proceedings.
3. 59. The Committee notes this information.
