Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

The Committee notes with regret that for the third consecutive year 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:

The Committee noted that under section 193 of the Labour Code, amended by the Act of 18 December 1992, the consent of young persons under the age of 18 is required in order for them to do night work (from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The Committee recalled that the Convention does not provide for any exception based on the consent of young people under 18 years of age. It again asks the Government to provide information on the measures taken or contemplated to bring this provision of the Labour Code into conformity with the Convention. It also asks the Government to provide full information on the practical effect given to the abovementioned section of the Labour Code and particularly on the number of young persons who have given their consent and on the branches of activity concerned.
