Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

The Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that the situation of officials under contract in the state administrations is regulated by the Labour Code and that in accordance with the model employment contract used such a contract must comply with the laws and regulations in force.

The Committee stresses once again that the fact that general labour legislation applies without distinction to all workers does not release a government from the obligation incumbent on it under this Convention to ensure the inclusion in the public contracts specified in Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention of appropriate labour clauses so as to guarantee that the conditions of work (including wages) of workers employed by public contractors are not less favourable than those established for work of the same character in that trade or industry in the same region, in accordance with Article 2.

The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in the very near future the measures which have been taken, through legislation or otherwise, to ensure the application of the Convention on this point.
