Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

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 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the document entitled "Organisation of the territory for the present and the future", supplied by the Government with its report, that it is concerned about internal migrations and that a series of measures are proposed in order to control them. In this connection, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether measures have been envisaged to encourage the transfer of the wages of internal migrant workers, who are working temporarily in a region other than the one from which they originate, to the regions of labour supply.

Article 8. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information on whether manpower from other countries is employed and, if so, whether it has been considered necessary to conclude agreements with the competent authorities in order to regulate matters of common concern arising in connection with the use of these labour resources.

Article 12. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether there exist legal provisions regulating the maximum amounts and manner of repayment of advances on wages, as well as the way in which the amount to be reimbursed is explained to the worker. It would also be grateful if the Government would indicate whether there exist provisions laying down that any advance in excess of the amount laid down by the competent authority shall be legally irrecoverable and may not be recovered by the witholding of amounts of pay due to the worker at a later date.

Article 13. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether there are provisions to encourage independent producers to practice any voluntary form of thrift and if measures have been adopted or are contemplated in order to protect such producers against usary, in particular through action aimed at a reduction of rates of interest on loans and by the encouragement of facilities for loans through cooperative credit organisations or institutions which are under the control of the authorities.

Article 15. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the education services are accessible to young people in all parts of the national territory.
