Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

The Committee notes the Government's statement to the effect that the draft statute concerning conditions of service of the labour inspection services, which is currently being formulated, contain provisions that give effect to Articles 3, 5, 12 and 17 of the Convention, which were the subject of its previous comments. It trusts that this draft will soon be adopted and that it will also ensure the application of Articles 6, 7 and 8.

Articles 10 and 16. The Committee notes with interest that the Government proposes to increase the number of labour inspectors. It hopes that in its next report the Government will be in a position to supply information on any progress achieved in this respect and to indicate the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workplaces visited during the period covered by its report.

Article 11. The Committee hopes that the Government will spare no efforts to provide labour inspectors with appropriate working conditions and the transport facilities necessary for the performance of their duties and requests it to supply detailed information on the measures that are taken in these areas.

Articles 20 and 21. Recalling the importance that it attaches to well-prepared annual inspection reports which make it possible to assess the practical results of the activities of labour inspectorates at the national and international level, the Committee trusts that the Government will not fail to take the necessary measures to ensure that, in future, reports containing detailed information on the points set out in Article 21 of the Convention are published and transmitted to the ILO within the time-limits set forth in Article 20.
