The Committee notes the observations made by the General Confederation of Labour of the Argentine Republic (CGT RA), received on 2 September 2015, and the Government’s reply received on 11 November 2015.

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee noted the observations made by the CGT RA and the Confederation of Workers of Argentina (CTA) in 2014, expressing their concern at the lack of opportunities to hold tripartite consultations and at the functioning of the Standing Advisory Committee on the Occupational Hazards Act (CCP–LRT). The Government indicates in its report that it has been very active on each of the matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention. The Committee notes the records of the tripartite consultations on international labour standards held in 2015 and of the meetings that took place in December 2014 and in 2015 in the MERCOSUR Social and Labour Commission. The Government also indicates that the issues relating to occupational hazards, which were discussed at the 29 October 2012 meeting of the CCP–LRT, were addressed in standards issued between 2012 and 2014. The CGT RA reiterates in its 2015 observations that the CCP–LRT should meet on a regular basis. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the tripartite consultations held on the matters relating to international labour standards set forth in the Convention.
