Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Part II of the Convention. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments.

It notes that a new Bill drafted to repeal and modify some provisions of the Labour Code in order to align it with certain ILO Conventions ratified by the country, including Convention No. 96, has been submitted to the Council of Ministers by the letter No. AD/3/4532 of 5.11.90. The Government indicates that, among other things, this Bill contains provisions with a view to repeal sections 18 and 22 of the Code, which authorise the setting up of private employment agencies, and to amend section 11 of the Code so as to extend the application of the chapter concerning placement of unemployed persons to domestic and similar workers. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will not fail to ensure full conformity of the national legislation with Part II of the Convention. It therefore trusts that the above Bill will be adopted in the nearest future and that it will enable the problem raised in its comments since the time when the Convention came into force, to be solved. It asks the Government to provide, in its next report, information on any progress made in this regard.
