The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

1. In its previous comments, the Committee had requested the Government to amend the legislation to provide expressly for rapid appeal procedures, coupled with effective and dissuasive sanctions against acts of interference, in order to ensure the application in practice of Article 2 of the Convention. The Government states that it has noted the observation and will take it into account when amending the Labour Code.

The Committee hopes that these amendments will be adopted soon and requests the Government to provide it with a copy of these amendments once they are adopted.

2. The Committee had also requested the Government to consider introducing legislative measures in order to extend the rights and guarantees of the Convention to domestic servants, gardeners, cooks and the like, and agricultural workers. The Government states that, while the reasons for excluding some categories of workers still hold (privacy of households; instability and irregularity of agricultural work), a study is currently being undertaken on the possibility of including some categories of agricultural workers.

The Committee takes note of this information, but is bound to reiterate that the Convention does not allow for the exclusion of such categories of workers, and requests the Government once again to consider introducing legislation extending the rights and guarantees of the Convention to all these workers.

3. The Committee requests the Government to inform it in its next report of any progress made in these matters.
