Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

The Committee notes the information communicated by the Government in reply to its previous comments and would be grateful if it would provide further information on the following points.

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would state whether bodies other than the Higher Labour Council and the National Council on Minimum Wages exist in which cooperation and negotiations between the authorities and the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations take place at regional and local levels in the various sectors of economic activity.

Article 7. The Committee hopes that the Government will not fail to communicate in the near future its conclusions as to whether it would be desirable to have a gradual extension of certain functions of the system of labour administration to non-wage workers, such as those referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (d) of this Article.

Article 10. The Committee again requests the Government to describe the material means at the disposal of the staff of the labour administration system for the performance of its duties. It would also be grateful if the Government would state whether the recommendations of the MATAC/ILO project with regard to the recruitment, composition, status and conditions of service of labour administration staff have been well received and provide a copy, if appropriate, of any relevant text which has been adopted.
