Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the information contained in the Government's latest report concerning legislative and administrative changes. The labour inspectorate has been one of the priorities, because of its past difficulties, including severe staff shortages. The Committee therefore notes with interest the Government's request for the technical assistance of the ILO in training the technical staff of the Labour Inspectorate which is now being considered by the responsible authorities together with the Office. It hopes this assistance will be provided soon and enable the Government to address the matters raised in its previous direct request, which dealt with questions related to: the conditions of service and powers of the Labour Inspectorate (Articles 6, 9, 12 paragraph 1(c), 14 and 15(a) and (b) of the Convention), the number of labour inspectors (Article 10), the necessary transport facilities (Article 11), the regularity and thoroughness of visits of workplaces liable to inspection (Article 16) and the publication, transmission and contents of annual general inspection reports (Articles 20 and 21).
