Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

In the comments that it has been making since 1984 the Committee has noted that the provisions of the Labour Code contain measures of a general order which do not give effect to most of the provisions of the Convention. Over the same period, the Government has referred to implementing regulations which are to be adopted to guarantee the application of the Convention, but which have not yet been adopted.

In its last report the Government states, on the one hand, that implementing regulations which give effect to the provisions of the Convention have never existed and that it has no knowledge of draft legislation being prepared for that purpose. On the other hand, the Government states that it has received technical advice from the Ibero-American Cooperation Institute which has in part been related to the preparation of draft ministerial decisions and agreements to regulate those aspects of safety and health questions which have not yet been regulated.

The Committee notes that, 12 years after its ratification, the national legislation does not yet contain provisions which give effect to most of the provisions of the Convention and that, once again, the Government refers in a general manner to "preliminary draft texts which have taken into account the Committee's comments".

The Committee requests the Government to take the necessary measures to give effect to the Convention and requests the Government to supply information on the progress achieved in this respect.
