Repetition Article 3 of the Convention. Prohibition of night work of women. The Committee notes the adoption of the Labour Code, Act No. 13/2009 of 27 May 2009, which much like the previous Labour Code of 2001 does not contain any general prohibition against the employment of women at night and therefore gives no effect to the provisions of the Convention. As regards the possible ratification of the Night Work Convention, 1990 (No. 171), the Committee notes the Government’s indication that consultations with employers’ and workers’ organizations continue on this matter. The Committee requests the Government to transmit a copy of the Ministerial Order determining the works which are prohibited to women, as provided for in section 74 of the Labour Code, once it is adopted.
