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

1. The Committee notes the Government’s detailed report, received in September 2000, and the statistical information and court decisions attached thereto. Further to its observation of 1995, the Committee notes the Government’s reply on the requirements for authorizing the remuneration of workers with individual training permits, and the full statistical information on the number of workers benefiting from paid educational leave. The Committee trusts that the Government will continue to report on any measures taken to promote the granting of paid educational leave in the private sector or for general, social and civic education or trade union education, prescribed by the Convention (Articles 2(b), (c), and 3(b), (c)). Please also continue to provide general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied (Part V of the report form).

2. The Committee has taken note of the Third National Agreement on Continuous Training and Third Tripartite Agreement on Continuous Training, signed on 19 January 2000. These new agreements continue to make collective bargaining the focal point of the system and include a new form of training initiative for undertakings with a social content. The management of continuous training is assigned to a new tripartite foundation, in which the administration participates with the employers’ and workers’ organizations with a view to simplifying management. The Committee notes with interest the progress made in applying the Convention and would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the results achieved by the tripartite agreements and on any new measures concerning the application of the Convention during the period covered by the next report.
