The Committee notes the observations of the Independent Trade Union of Miners of the Nikanor – Nova Coalmine, received on 27 May 2014.

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), which is the modern standard on this subject and provides for preventive and protective measures for all mineworkers, irrespective of gender, was ratified by Ukraine in 2011. The Committee takes this opportunity to recall that, based on the conclusions of the Working Party on Policy regarding the Revision of Standards, the ILO Governing Body has decided that with respect to underground work, the States parties to Convention No. 45 should be invited to contemplate ratifying Convention No. 176, and possibly denouncing Convention No. 45 (see GB.283/LILS/ WP/PRS/1/2, paragraph 13). The Committee also recalls that, in conformity with Article 7, Convention No. 45 will be next open to denunciation during a one-year period from 30 May 2017 to 30 May 2018. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any decision taken in this regard.
