Articles 2 to 5 of the Convention. Medical certificate. For 13 years, the Committee has been requesting the Government to provide information on the legislative texts giving effect to the specific requirements of Articles 3 to 5 of the Convention. In its previous comment, the Committee noted the Government’s indication that a review of the Merchant Navy Code had been launched in early 2015 with a view to adapting it to current realities, taking account of ratified international Conventions. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that the Merchant Navy Code is still under review and promises to send a copy of it once the review has been completed. In this regard, the Committee recalls that the review of the Merchant Navy Code should take into consideration the issues of non-conformity with the Convention that have been raised for many years. These concern the obligation to produce a medical certificate prior to being engaged for employment on a fishing vessel (Article 2); the prescription of the nature of the medical examination to be made and the particulars to be included in the medical certificate (Article 3); the period of validity of medical certificates for young fishers not exceeding one year (Article 4); and the possibility of applying for a further examination if the certificate has been refused (Article 5). In view of the foregoing, the Committee requests the Government to take any necessary measures to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention.
