Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Article 3, paragraph 1(c), of the Convention. The Committee notes that the draft of the revised Labour Code to which it referred in its previous comment will shortly be submitted to the competent authorities for adoption. The Committee again expresses the hope that appropriate measures will be taken to give effect to this provision of the Convention which provides that the labour inspectorate must bring to the notice of the competent authority defects or abuses not specifically covered by existing legal provisions. It asks the Government to provide information on any progress made in this regard in its next report.

Articles 11 and 16. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government's endeavours to remedy the lack of material facilities placed at the disposal of labour inspectors, particularly as regards transport. It also notes the Government's view that, generally speaking, as things now stand, application of the Convention still leaves room for improvement. It hopes that the next report will contain all the required information on the measures taken or contemplated to this end, including the possibility of reimbursing labour inspectors for any travelling and incidental expenses which may be necessary for the performance of their duties.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that a summary of inspection reports for 1990 has been prepared. Further to its previous comments, it again expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary steps to ensure that annual inspection reports containing information on all the subjects listed at Article 21 are published and transmitted to the International Labour Office within the period laid down in Article 20.
