Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

The Committee notes the Government’s replies, received in September 2000 and September 2001, to its 1998 direct request. The Government states that the acceptance of tripartite consultation has been growing as a tool for dialogue to arrive at a decision on almost all issues concerning industrial relations and labour welfare. The Committee welcomes this statement, but considers that the replies received contain insufficient information to facilitate an examination of the effect given to the provisions of the Convention. It therefore once again requests the Government to supply detailed replies to the questions contained in the report form with regard to Articles 3 and 4 of the Convention.

Article 2. Please describe the nature and form of procedures to ensure that effective consultations are held on each of the questions set forth in Article 5, paragraph 1. Please describe the manner in which these procedures were determined and indicate any consultations which took place with representative organizations with this purpose.

Article 5. The Committee requests the Government to supply full and detailed information on the consultations held during the period covered by the next report on each of the questions set forth in paragraph 1. The Government is also requested to indicate the frequency of consultations and to provide details on the nature of reports and recommendations which arise therefrom.

Article 6. Please give particulars of the consultations that have taken place with the representative organizations on the question of issuing an annual report on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention, including a copy of the report or any other information bearing on the practical application of the Convention.
