Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's last report concerning the steps taken with regard to the application of social legislation respecting wages. It also notes the difficulties that the inspection service encounters in applying the Convention's provisions; these difficulties are related in particular to the fact that many branches of activity are informal and consequently difficult to supervise. The Committee recalls that the Government expressed the intention in its previous report of setting up a labour inspection unit in each province of the territory in order to improve the implementation of the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information in its next report concerning the practical effect given to the planned measures, and it requests the Government to continue supplying information which will enable an assessment to be made of the implementation of the Convention in practice.
