Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. Technical assistance to help member States fulfil their reporting obligations and comply with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee notes the comments by the Trade Union Confederation of Burundi (COSYBU) transmitted to the Government in September 2013. The COSYBU indicates that consultation is not yet rooted in government practice and in its decentralized structures. It also adds that the National Committee on Social Dialogue was established and its office was opened in Bujumbura. The Committee notes with regret that it has been unable to examine a report from the Government since 2007. Referring once again to its 2007 observation, the Committee invites the Government to submit detailed information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held since November 2007 on questions concerning international labour standards, and in particular on the reports to be made to the ILO as well as on the re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations (Article 5(1)(c) and (d) of the Convention). The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the possibility of availing itself of the ILO’s technical assistance to fill the gaps in the implementation of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
