Suites données aux recommandations du comité et du Conseil d’administration - Rapport No. 326, Novembre 2001

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 54. Concerning Case No. 1966, at its March 2001 meeting the Committee requested the Government to provide it with the text of the amended Code as soon as it is adopted [see 324th Report, para. 52]. The Government states in its communication of 25 May and 24 August 2001 that it will send the text of the law as soon as it is adopted.
2. 55. As regards Case No. 2030, at its March 2001 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to send the decision of the Administrative High Court concerning decision 18-97 of 17 April 1997 taken by the Administrative Board of the National Registry as soon as it is handed down [see 324th Report, para. 55]. In a long communication of 12 February 2001, the Rerum Novarum Confederation of Workers replies to the arguments put forward by the Government in its last communication to the Committee and mentions the negative impact of the decision of the Constitutional Chamber regarding collective bargaining in the public sector and insists that the previous agreement on collective bargaining in the public sector was extremely restrictive and had been criticized by the Committee. In its communications of 25 May and 24 August 2001 the Government states that the judicial authority has rejected the complaint lodged by the Trade Union of Workers and Retirees of the National Registry and that no appeal has been lodged against that ruling (which has been transmitted).
3. 56. The Committee takes note of this information. It draws the attention of the complainant organization to the fact that the issue of the right to bargain collectively in the public sector will be dealt with in the context of Case No. 2104.
