Article 6 of the Convention. Further to its observation, the Committee notes the detailed information supplied by the Government which indicates, among other matters, that an employment and education project of a duration of five years has been implemented since May 1995 in collaboration with the World Bank. The objectives of this project include the modernization of the National Employment Service. Please describe the effect of this modernization on the application of this Article.

Article 9. The Committee also notes that the above project includes the in-service training of 2,000 personnel of the above Office and 1,000 employment consultants. However, the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (TURK-IS) renews its observations concerning the absence of provisions ensuring that the personnel of the employment service are independent of changes of government. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the provisions that are applicable in this respect and to transmit copies to the Office so that it is fully able to assess the effect given to the above Article of the Convention. Please also indicate the status and functions of the consultants referred to above.
