The Committee notes the Government’s report received in May 2003, which contains information on the comments that it has been making for several years. It notes with interest that a tripartite committee on ILO issues, the main mission of which is to give advice on the matters covered by the tripartite consultations required by the Convention, was created by the Decree of 9 January 2003 of the Minister of Public Service and Employment. The members of this Committee were appointed by the Decision of 28 May 2003. The Government also indicates that the Office of the Minister chairs the meetings of this Committee, acts as its secretariat, convenes the meetings and establishes the records. Concerning the training of the persons involved in the consultations, seminars on standards have been organized by the Ministry, with the technical and financial assistance of organizations such as the ILO, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and non-governmental organizations. The Committee meets once every three months. The Committee encourages the Government to continue its efforts to give full effect to the Convention, and hopes that it will provide detailed information on the effective consultations held during the period covered by the next report within the tripartite committee on ILO issues, concerning each of the items set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
