Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes, in particular, indications in the report concerning cooperation with the social partners on various matters concerning labour.

Article 4 of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes a decision taken by the Government (Deliberation No. 36 of the State Congress of 27 June 1994) to introduce amendments to current legislation concerning employment and placement. It notes with interest that the new text will take into account the Committee's comments concerning section 25 of Act No. 95 of 19 September 1989. It hopes that the proposed amendments will give full effect to this Article which provides, in particular, that "suitable arrangements shall be made through advisory committees for the cooperation of representatives of employers and workers in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of employment service policy", and that "the representatives of employers and workers on these committees shall be appointed in equal numbers after consultation with representative organizations of employers and workers". The Committee asks the Government to provide in its next report, information on any progress made in this regard.
