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

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In reply to the 2001 observation, the Government reports that it noted the Committee’s comment with regard to Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. The Committee referred to the issue of representativeness and to the obstacles encountered in promoting the tripartite consultations covered by the Convention. The Government further indicates that a tripartite committee for ILO matters was established under the Ministerial Decree No. 92/Men/2003. That tripartite committee is now responsible for several matters covered by the Convention and conducts a plenary meeting at least once a year or at any time if its regarded necessary. The Committee hopes that in its next report, the Government will describe in detail the functioning of the tripartite committee for ILO matters in order to ensure effective consultations with respect to all the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
