Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

The Committee notes 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 reads as follows:

The Committee requests the Government to refer to the comments made under Convention No. 77.

Article 7(2)(e) of the Convention.  Further to its previous comments, the Committee recalls again that the Convention prescribes the adoption of measures of identification for ensuring the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment to children and young persons engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents in itinerant trading or in any other occupation carried on in the streets or in places to which the public have access (for example, the person concerned must have a medical examination document).

The Committee notes that the Government’s last report contains no information on measures taken or envisaged to give effect to this provision of the Convention. It hopes that such measures will be adopted in the very near future and requests the Government to indicate any progress on this matter.
