Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 82ª reunión CIT (1995)

The Committee notes that the Government's report simply indicates that there has been no change since the last report.

The Committee recalls that, in its earlier comments, it noted the information supplied by the Government including the examples of public contracts containing labour clauses as provided by Article 2 of the Convention. It therefore requested the Government to indicate how it was ensured that such clauses were included and how the terms of the clauses were determined.

The Committee would like to recall that measures to ensure the inclusion of appropriate labour clauses in all the public contracts covered by the Convention are not necessarily realized by an enactment of legislation but can be an administrative instruction regarding public contracts. It also recalls that Article 2(3) of the Convention provides that the terms of these clauses should be determined by the competent authority after consultation with the organizations of employers and workers concerned. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any measures taken to this end.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would also supply information on the practical application of the Convention, for example extracts from official reports, the number of workers covered by the public contracts and information on any practical difficulties noted by the labour inspectorate.
