Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

The Committee notes the Government's indication in the report that there are no changes in the field of public contracts.

The Committee recalls that it noted in its comments in 1968 that there were at that time no public contracts as defined in the Convention and that there was therefore no need to consider the question of special measures to implement the Convention. It notes that, under section 61 of the present Labour Code (SG Nos. 26 and 27 of 1986 as so far amended by No. 100 of 1992), it is possible to have an employment contract between a worker and an employer who is not necessarily a public authority, but who employs workers for the execution of a public contract.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether there exist now public contracts that fall within the scope of the Convention, that is, a contract concluded between a public authority and another party which employs workers for the execution of the contract (Article 1(1) of the Convention). If so, please supply information on any measures taken to give effect to the provisions of the Convention.
