Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the brief reply supplied by the Government to its previous comments indicating that, before sending the replies and before the preparation of the items for the agenda of the Conference, matters are regularly consulted in a tripartite forum. The Committee expresses its interest to receive more substantive information on the consultations held on all the matters related to international labour standards covered by the Convention. In this respect, the Committee asks the Government again to provide a report containing information on the consultations held by the Tripartite Consultative Council on international labour standards. Regarding the consultations on the proposals made when submitting the instruments adopted by the Conference to the Standing Parliamentary Committee, the Committee of Experts refers to the observations it has been making for many years on compliance with the obligation of submission and hopes that the Government will be in a position to announce very soon that it has held the consultations required by Convention No. 144 and submitted all the remaining instruments to Parliament (Article 5, paragraph 1(b) and (c), of the Convention). Please also supply information on the matters specified in Article 5, paragraph 1(a), (d) and (e), of the Convention, including information on the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.
