Articles 2 and 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Strengthening social dialogue. In reply to the Committee’s 2005 observation, the Government has sent a report with documentary annexes which include information on the Tripartite Seminar for South American countries on the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (February 2007) and detailed reports of the tripartite meetings organized by the National Tripartite Consultative Committee to promote the application of international labour standards (July 2006, April–May 2007). The Committee also notes with interest the detailed reports of the meetings of the MERCOSUR Social and Labour Commission which resulted in the creation of the High-level Group on Employment. The Government points out that the consultations which take place within MERCOSUR are closely linked to national obligations deriving from the ratification of the international labour Conventions and their working methodology is based on social dialogue. The Committee asks the Government to continue providing information on the results of the tripartite consultations held by the National Committee and within the framework of MERCOSUR on matters relating to the international labour standards covered by the Convention.
