The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be provided for examination by the Committee at its next session and will contain full information on the matter raised in its previous direct request. The Committee also notes that the Government had been requested to provide information to the Committee on the Application of Standards at the 106th Session at the International Labour Conference, for failure to supply reports and information on the application of ratified Conventions. Noting that the Government received technical assistance from the Office and the International Training Centre of the ILO in this respect in November 2017, the Committee expects that the Government will show a more cooperative attitude in the future by fulfilling its constitutional obligations.

In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to take the necessary steps to adopt the decree determining the operation of the joint committees, provided for under section 284 of the Labour Code. Recalling that it made its initial request on this matter in 2003, the Committee is once again bound to request the Government to take all the necessary measures to ensure the adoption of the decree determining the operation of the joint committees and expects it to report concrete progress in this regard.
