Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Article 6, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention. With reference to its previous direct requests, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that the revision of section 6(2) of Order (arrête) No. 1283 of 23 October 1953 which authorizes extensions of hours of work for seasonal work, the need to maintain or increase production, and because of a shortage of labour, is still under preparation within the overall framework of the new Labour Code, which the Government announced for years. The Government trusts that the new Labour Code will be adopted in the near future and will give effect to the provisions of the Convention, taking into consideration the Committee’s previous comments. The Committee requests the Government to keep the ILO informed of all progress made.
