Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

The Committee notes with interest the information in the Government's report on the application of the Convention. With reference to its observation of 1993, it notes that Act No. 185 of 30 October 1996 makes several amendments to the Labour Code, one of which is that a maximum of three hours per day and nine hours per week of overtime has been set (section 58), which constitutes real progress in the application of Articles 6 and 7 of the Convention. The Committee also notes the detailed information supplied by the Government in accordance with Part VI of the report form and asks it to continue to supply such information to allow the Committee better to assess how effect is given to the provisions of the Convention.
