Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

The Committee notes with regret 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:

The Committee notes the Government's report, in which it indicates that new regulations have been formulated for the fishing industry and that they will take into account the comments that the Committee has been making for many years. The Committee recalls that these comments concerned the application of Article 6, paragraphs 7 to 9 and 11 to 16, of the Convention (construction of crew accommodation), Article 10, paragraphs 22 and 26 (furniture and berthing) and Article 12, paragraphs 2, 7, 10 and 11 (sanitary and laundry facilities), in respect of vessels of 75 gross registered tons or more. The Committee hopes that the Government will supply the respective legal texts when they have been adopted and reiterates its request for the provision of information on the effect given to the Convention, as requested under points III and V of the report form.
