Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

The Committee notes the Government's last report on the application of the Convention and the information supplied in response to its direct request of 1994 on the measures taken to apply Articles 2, 3 and 4 of the Convention. It notes with interest the Government's statement that a draft amendment to section 31 of the Labour Code expressly sets normal hours of work at eight hours per day and 48 hours per week, in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the Convention. It also notes that the proposed amendment to section 32 of Labour Code takes into account the prescriptions of Articles 3 and 4 of the Convention for determining the exceptions that may be allowed to normal hours of work. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would inform the Office of any amending texts which may have been adopted.

Furthermore, the Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report the measures taken or envisaged to give effect to the provisions of Article 6 of the Convention.
