Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

The Committee notes the brief information provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments. It notes that the Technical Advisory Committee (CTC), established under Order No. 20561 of 2 November 2003, will examine in the near future the texts implementing the new Decree and the application in practice of the provisions of the Convention. The Committee can therefore only express the sincere hope that the Government will finally adopt the implementing texts which have been announced for a number of years in order to give effect to the provisions of Articles 2 and 4 of the Convention. It hopes that these legislative texts will contain provisions giving effect to Articles 2 and 4 of the Convention, which prohibit the sale, hire, transfer in any other manner or exhibition of machinery of which the dangerous parts specified in Article 2, paragraphs 3 and 4, are without appropriate guards, the obligation to ensure compliance with these prohibitions resting on the vendor, the person letting out on hire or transferring the machinery in any other manner, or the exhibitor or manufacturer who sells, lets out on hire, transfers in any other manner or exhibits machinery.
