Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which reads as follows:

1. The Committee notes the Government's first report on the application of the Convention. It notes that the plan to create a national tripartite commission within the meaning of the Convention is presently being studied by the Government. In line with Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Convention, the Committee urges the Government to consult employers' and workers' organizations on the nature and form of the consultation procedures to be set up. The Government is requested to supply information on the results of such consultations and to supply in the future a description of the procedures, bearing in mind Articles 1 to 6 of the Convention.

2. The Committee notes that the Government has carried out a tripartite consultation in formulating a national Act on paid holidays with a view to ratifying Convention No. 132. It would be grateful if the Government would supply further information on this matter as well as on any measures taken, pending adoption of the above-mentioned texts, in order to ensure that the consultations provided for in Article 5 of the Convention take place.
