Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

The Committee notes the Government's report with interest. It notes the particulars of the consultations held on the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1(c) and (d), of the Convention and their outcome. It hopes that in future these consultations will cover all the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1. The Government is asked to continue to provide detailed information in its future reports on the consultations held and on their frequency, and to specify the nature of all reports or recommendations resulting from the consultations, such as the minutes of meetings of the National Social Partnership Council (NSPC) which it appended to its first report.

The Government is also asked to undertake, in accordance with Article 6, consultations on the need to issue an annual report on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention.

Lastly, with reference to its previous direct request, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the action taken on the NSPC's proposals for the ratification of ILO Conventions Nos. 88 and 135.
