Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

The Committee notes 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:

Articles 6, 7, 10, 11, 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. With reference to its observation, the Committee notes that the specific objectives of the project to support the employment services are to recruit and train staff, to make available to inspectors motor vehicles, micro-computers, the necessary documentation and office furniture. However, it notes that achievement of these objectives, which govern the practical application of the Convention, with effective inspection of establishments coming first, depend on funding which has not yet been obtained. The Committee hopes that the Government will take this project into consideration in its budgetary priorities and that other sources of funding will also be considered so that implementation can begin as soon as possible, even if the project is carried out in stages, so that progress can be made in practical application of these provisions of the Convention.
