Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. With reference to its direct request of 2007, the Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2008. The Committee notes with interest the approval of an institutional strategic plan of the National Labour and Employment Promotion Council for the period 2007–11, which includes a procedure for the periodic review and analysis of international labour instruments and initiatives to ensure the representativeness and continuity of the tripartite national council. The Committee refers to its observation concerning the constitutional obligation of submission, and notes the establishment of an effective tripartite consultation mechanism with regard to the instruments awaiting submission to the Congress of the Republic (Article 5, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention). Furthermore, the Government has provided information on the new tripartite consultation procedure for the preparation of reports on the implementation of ratified Conventions (Article 5, paragraph 1(d)). The Committee welcomes the strengthening of the role of the National Labour and Employment Promotion Council and trusts that future reports will include updated information on the tripartite consultations relating to international labour standards required by the Convention.
