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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report and the comments of the General Union of Workers (UGT).

The Government, with reference to the questions raised in the previous direct request, indicates that, following the comments by the UGT, a tripartite meeting has been convened with a view to an exchange of views and a re-evaluation of the application of the Convention.

The Committee notes the comments made on this occasion by, in addition to the UGT, the Portuguese Confederation of Commerce (CCP), the Portuguese Confederation of Farmers (CAP) and the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP-IN). These comments deal in particular with consultation procedures (Article 2 of the Convention), the training of participants in these procedures (Article 4) and issuing an annual report (Article 6).

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply information on the purpose of consultations (Article 5, paragraph 1) as well as on developments in consultation methods and procedures (Articles 2, 4 and 6).
