   • – the Committee requests the Government to inform it of the decisions handed down relating to: (1) the dismissal of trade union official Luis Enrique Chacón; (2) the unfair labour practices at the University of Costa Rica verified by the administrative authorities; and (3) the violations of the Ministry of Education in the matter of trade union leave;
   • – the Committee notes with interest the various initiatives taken by the Ministry of Labour and other authorities (proposed constitutional and legislative amendments, etc.) with a view to guaranteeing full enjoyment of the right of collective bargaining in the public sector, including bills to ratify Conventions Nos. 151 and 154, and notes that an ILO official has provided technical assistance in one of these initiatives. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of developments with regard to these issues.
2. 48. In its communications of 2 September and 17 November 2003, the Government states that the legal proceedings relating to this case are awaiting decisions. Moreover, the Government outlines the steps taken and the efforts made by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security with the Legislative Assembly for the ratification of Conventions Nos. 151 and 154, the draft acts of which are to be found under agenda items 17 and 18 of the “first discussions in the second part of the plenary session”. All of the above shows the Government’s interest and goodwill in ensuring collective bargaining in the public sector.
