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

The Committee refers to its observation and notes that the name of the ministerial department responsible for the application of the Convention was changed a few years ago to Ministry of Labour and Micro-Enterprise. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide the organizational chart of the new Ministry and indicate what effects the structural changes resulting from its attributions regarding micro-enterprises have had on the operation of the labour inspection system.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would state how effect is given to Article 8 of the Convention which provides that women are eligible for appointment to the inspection staff and that, where necessary, special duties may be assigned to men and women inspectors.

Noting that in its last report the Government did not indicate to which employers’ and workers’ organizations the report was communicated, the Committee recalls that such communication is an obligation under article 23, paragraph 2, of the ILO Constitution and asks the Government to supply information, as requested in Part VI of the report form for the Convention, on any particular circumstances which explain why the report was not communicated.
