Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Part II of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes from the Government's reply to its previous observation that the Bill to repeal sections 18 and 22 of Labour Code No. 91 of 1959, which authorised the setting up of private employment agencies, and to amend section 11 of the Code so as to extend to domestic and similar workers the application of the chapter concerning placement of unemployed persons, is currently being examined by the Council of Ministers with a view to its enactment. The Committee trusts that these changes to the Labour Code, on which it has been commenting for many years, will be adopted in the very near future and will ensure that the national legislation is in full conformity with this part of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's assurances that it will transmit all further information on this matter to the ILO, and hopes that the next report will confirm that progress has been made towards taking full account of the Committee's repeated comments.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
