1. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s most recent report and its response to the Committee’s comments.
2. Article 18 of the Convention. Mutual recognition of arrangements made in their respective countries for testing, examining and annealing, and of certificates and records relating thereto. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that reciprocal arrangements have not yet been established with other member States on the subject matter referred to in this Article. With reference to comments made by the Committee since 1996, the Committee urges the Government to take appropriate steps in order to enter into reciprocal arrangements on the basis of this Convention with the other Members for this purpose and to provide information on the effect given in practice to this Article of the Convention.
3. Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government that a team of inspectors specifically dedicated to verifying the working conditions in ports has been formed and that efforts were being made to develop a comprehensive system of statistics related to labour inspections. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the results of these efforts and all relevant developments in respect of the application in practice of this Convention.
4. The Committee takes the opportunity to recall that the Governing Body of the ILO has invited parties to Convention No. 32 to consider ratification of Convention No. 152, which revised Convention No. 32 (GB.268/LILS/5(Rev.1)), paragraphs 99–101). Such ratification would automatically entail an immediate denunciation of Convention No. 32. The Committee also wishes to bring to the Government’s attention an ILO code of practice in this area, Safety and health in ports, Geneva, 2005. This code of practice is available, inter alia, through the ILO’s web site by following the link, http://www.ilo.org/public/english/ protection/safework/cops/english/index.htm. The Government is requested to keep the Committee informed of any developments in this respect.
1. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s most recent report and the detailed legislative information.
2. Article 18 of the Convention. Mutual recognition of arrangements made in their respective countries for testing, examining and annealing and of certificates and records relating thereto. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that reciprocal arrangements have not yet been established with other member States on the subject matter referred to in this Article. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the obligation contained in paragraph 1 of this Article, which is mutual recognition by all the member States which have ratified the Convention of the provisions adopted in their respective countries for testing, examining and annealing of certificates and records relating thereto. The Committee requests the Government to make necessary efforts and to take appropriate steps in order to enter into reciprocal arrangements on the basis of this Convention with the other Members for this purpose and to supply information on the effect given in practice to this Article of the Convention.
3. The Committee takes this opportunity to recall that the Governing Body of the ILO has invited parties to Convention No. 32 to consider ratification of the Occupational Safety and Health (Dock Work) Convention, 1979 (No. 152), which revised Convention No. 32 (GB.268/LILS/5(Rev.1), paragraphs 99-101). Such a ratification would automatically entail an immediate denunciation of Convention No. 32. The Committee also wishes to bring to the Government’s attention, the ILO’s newly adopted code of practice in this area – Safety and health in ports, Geneva, 2005. This code of practice is available, inter alia, through the ILO’s web site by following the link, http://www.ilo.org/public/english/protection/safework/ cops/english/index.htm. The Government is requested to keep the Committee informed of any developments in this respect.
The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report and the text of the Ports Act (Act No. 16246 of 8 April 1992) and Decrees Nos. 412/992 and 413/992 issuing regulations under the Act.
Article 18 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that reciprocal arrangements have not yet been established with other member States on the provisions contained in the Convention. The Committee draws the Government's attention to the purpose of the obligation contained in paragraph 1 of this Article, which is the mutual recognition by all the member States which have ratified the Convention of the provisions adopted in their respective countries for testing, examining and annealing and of certificates and records relating thereto. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to supply information on the effect given in practice to this Article of the Convention.
The Committee notes the information and legislative texts supplied by the Government and the comments made by employers' organizations, which were transmitted by the Government in its report.
1. The Committee notes, from the Government's report, the adoption of Decree No. 406/88 under Act No. 5032 of 3 June 1988, on the prevention of industrial accidents, which is of a general nature and covers all public and private industrial, commercial and service establishments, irrespective of their activities and their objective. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply a copy of this text with its next report.
2. The Committee refers to its previous direct request and requests the Government to supply information on the effect given in practice to Article 18 of the Convention (the undertaking to enter into reciprocal arrangements with the other Members which have ratified the Convention, including more particularly the mutual recognition of the arrangements made in their respective countries for testing and examining and of certificates and records relating thereto).
The Committee notes the Government's report which, among other matters, reports the changes relating to the competence of the General Inspectorate of Labour and Social Security, introduced by Act 15851 of 24 December 1986. In view of the fact that the text of this Act has not been received, the Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of it with its next report.
The Committee would be grateful if the Government would also supply information on the effect given in practice to Article 8 of the Convention (which obliges it to enter into reciprocal agreements with the other Members which have ratified this Convention).
