Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2001, Publicación: 90ª reunión CIT (2002)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

Articles 3 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, according to the information supplied by the Government, sections 73 to 75 of the Labour Code continue to provide for consultation of organizations of employers and workers within the National Labour Council (CNT). It notes, however, that the political and economic climate of the country has not allowed the CNT to meet in order to fix the guaranteed minimum interoccupational wage (SMIG). The Government states, moreover, that it will attempt to hold a meeting of the CNT within a reasonable time and that, consequently, precise information will be supplied as soon as available. The Committee therefore requests the Government to do its utmost to fix the new SMIG rates on the basis of a tripartite consultation and hopes that the Government will be in a position to give information in its next report on any progress made in this regard.

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that the inspection visits that were suspended have been resumed and that detailed information on this matter will be supplied in the next report. The Committee trusts that, in the very near future, the Government will provide information on the results of labour inspections in regard to minimum salaries, as well as general information on the application in practice of the Convention.
