Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 28. The Committee last examined this case relating to alleged acts of anti-union harassment of the complainant organization’s assistant secretary at its meeting in June 2006 [see 342nd Report, paras 18–20]. On that occasion the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the outcome of the extraordinary appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice concerning the lifting of trade union privileges and authorization for dismissal of the trade union official, Praino Raúl (in second instance, the Appeals Court upheld the ruling of the Court of First Instance rejecting the request for the lifting of his trade union privileges filed by the National Institute of Social Services).
2. 29. In a communication dated 13 October 2006, the Government informs the Committee that the judicial authority has ruled that the extraordinary appeal has lapsed (in the absence of any further developments in the proceedings) and that the case is therefore closed.
3. 30. The Committee notes this information.
