Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2005, Publicación: 95ª reunión CIT (2006)

1. Parts I and II of the Convention. Improvement of standards of living. The Committee notes the Government’s report, which enumerates the principal legislative measures adopted during the period June 1998-May 2003 and contains statistical data on the inspections carried out in relation to wages, discrimination and work by foreign nationals. It requests the Government to continue providing information which allows the Committee to have an overview of the manner in which the "improvement of standards of living" is regarded as "the principal objective in the planning of economic development" (Article 2 of the Convention).

2. Part IV. Remuneration of workers. In reply to its previous comments, the Government indicates that it has not amended the legislation regarding advances on wages. The Committee notes that section 270 of the Labour Code, adopted in 2003, reproduces the provisions of section 95 of Legislative Decree No. 49 408 of 1969. In this respect, the Committee requests the Government to provide information in its next report on the measures adopted or envisaged to regulate advances on wages in accordance with the Convention.
