Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government provides in its 2014 and 2015 reports information on the consultations held in various tripartite bodies. The Committee notes the matters relating to international labour standards that were discussed within the National Advisory Committee on Labour (NACOLA), such as the re-examination of unratified Conventions and questions arising out of reports to be made to the ILO under article 22 of the ILO Constitution. It notes in this regard that consultations were held in March 2013 on the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183), and on measures that might be taken to promote its implementation. Moreover, the proposal to ratify the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), was raised in a meeting of April 2014 of the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health. The Government indicates that the decision was deferred to a later date as members requested to study the Convention and then make recommendations to NACOLA. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the outcome of the tripartite consultations held on the matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention.
