Article 3. Right of workers’ and employers’ organizations to organize their administration. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted that section 33(2) of the Trade Unions Act provides that “the Registrar may at any time by order in writing require the treasurer or any other officer of a trade union to deliver to him, by a date to be specified in such order, detailed accounts of the revenue, expenditure, assets, liabilities and funds of the trade union in respect of any period specified in such order, and any accounts so rendered shall include such details and information and be supported by such documents as the Registrar in any case may require”. The Committee had recalled that the control exercised by the public authorities over trade union finances should not normally exceed the obligations to submit periodic reports and that the discretionary right of the authorities to carry out inspections and request information at any time entails a danger of interference in the internal administration of trade unions. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that it is in the process of formulating a Labour Code and that it received technical assistance in this process. The Government further indicates that among the recommendations that would be forwarded to the competent authority is the change requested by the Committee with regard to section 33(2) of the Trade Unions Act. In these circumstances, the Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report information on any measure taken to amend section 33(2) of the Trade Unions Act and hopes that its comments will be taken into account in this regard. Moreover, the Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the Labour Code, once adopted.
