Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2003, Publicación: 92ª reunión CIT (2004)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s statement that the Employment Decree No. 4, 1975, was being revised to ensure conformity with the Convention. The Committee pointed out that the Convention does not permit the exception for the prohibition against underground work concerning apprentices, which is provided for by section 51 of the Employment Decree. Recalling that the Government has been indicating for many years its intention to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention, the Committee hopes that the amendment will be completed in the very near future.

Article 4, paragraph 5. The Committee again requests the Government to supply a specimen copy of the special register kept by the employer employing young persons under section 55 of the Employment Decree and section 41 of the Employment Regulations.

Part IV of the report form. The Committee again requests the Government to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice, including for instance statistical data on the number and nature of contraventions reported.
