Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2001, publiée 90ème session CIT (2002)

The Committee notes the detailed information supplied by the Government in its report on the application of the Convention for 1999. It notes that reform of the port sector began in 1992 with the adoption of Act No. 92-496 and its implementing legislation and continued with the conclusion of a collective agreement on cargo handling which was endorsed in 1994 by all the social partners. It also notes the information on legislative provisions - particularly the Maritime Port Code - which give effect to the provisions of the Convention in regard to regularization of employment and registration. Finally, it notes the information on the number of dockers which has decreased significantly since 1992 and the measures taken to alleviate the prejudicial effects. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply in its next reports all information it deems useful to enable it to appreciate fully the effect given to the provisions of the Convention, including copies of the collective agreements it mentions in its latest report, particularly charters or agreements concerning organization and conditions of work, labour pacts or salary agreements.
