The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would send a copy of Presidential Decree No. 314 of 9 March 2004 concerning the system and structure of the federal executive bodies, as amended by Presidential Decree No. 295 of 15 March 2005.

Article 4 of the Convention and structure of the labour administration system. Coordination of its functions. The Committee again requests the Government to supply information on the steps taken to ensure the effective operation of the labour administration system and the proper coordination of its functions and responsibilities. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would send a copy of the organization chart of the labour administration system, so that it can have an overview of its structure at central, regional and local levels.

Articles 5 and 6. Consultations, cooperation and tripartite negotiations within the labour administration system and preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of national labour policy. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the Tripartite Commission for the Regulation of Industrial Relations and Labour (RTC) established pursuant to Federal Act No. 92-FZ of 1 May 1999 discharges various functions, including the negotiation of a general agreement between the Government and the national federations of workers and employers, and holds consultations on the preparation of draft Federal Acts concerning social matters and on federal programmes in the fields of labour, employment, migration and social security. The Government indicates that the RTC is in process of drawing up the draft general agreement for 2011–13, which will replace the agreement of 2008–10. The latter contained components relating to the following economic policy; wages, income and standard of living; development of the labour market and promotion of employment; social security, social protection and social sectors; working conditions, occupational safety and health and industrial and environmental safety; social and economic questions relating to the development of the northern regions of the Russian Federation; social partnership and coordination of the activities of the parties participating in the agreement. The Government also points out that all the constituent units of the Federation have set up tripartite commissions similar to the RTC. Noting that, according to the Government, the Government coordinator of the RTC is the Deputy Prime Minister, the Committee requests the Government to supply detailed information on the participation in the RTC of bodies and institutions that form part of the labour administration, and also on their role in the formulation and implementation of policies drawn up therein relating to the labour market, promotion of employment, wages, social security, working conditions, occupational safety and health, social partnership, etc. The Government is also requested to send a copy of the text of the General Agreement 2011–13 and indicate the impact of this agreement and its implementation on the application of the Convention. The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would send a report or any other periodic information on the work of the RTC.

Part IV. The Committee requests the Government to send any observations it considers relevant on the manner in which the Convention is applied, including, for example, extracts from any reports or other periodic information provided by the principle labour administration services, and referred to in Paragraph 20 of the Labour Administration Recommendation, 1978 (No. 158).

Part VI. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the representative organizations of employers and workers to which copies of the present report have been communicated in accordance with article 23(2) of the ILO Constitution. If no copies of the report have been sent to the abovementioned organizations, the Government is requested to supply information on any circumstances that might explain this omission.
