Repetition The Committee also notes that Act No. 2/1990 on working-time arrangements has been repealed with the entry into force of Act No. 10/2012, dated 24 December 2012 reforming the general labour legislation. In this context, the Committee will examine the new Act in relation to the application of the Conventions at its next session. The Committee therefore firmly hopes to receive the Government’s reports on the application of the Conventions.
Repetition Article 1 of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee notes that, under section 3 of the Labour Act (No. 2/1990), the Labour Act applies to all undertakings, enterprises or establishments in the country. However, according to section 4, the work of public officials is excluded from its scope and is subject to special regulations. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the regulations on hours of work that apply to these officials. Furthermore, under section 48(4) of the Labour Act, the daily and weekly limits on hours of work do not apply, among others, to persons performing duties which, by their nature, do not involve fixed working days. The Committee requests the Government to provide more specific information on the categories of workers so excluded.Article 5. General interruption of work. The Committee notes from the information supplied by the Government in its last report that collective work stoppages for the reasons set out in Article 5 of the Convention are not frequent and that, consequently, there are no specific regulations on this subject. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether, in practice, the hours lost in such circumstances may be made up and, if so, under what conditions.
Repetition Article 7 of the Convention. Permanent and temporary exceptions. In reply to comments that the Committee has been making since 1994, the Government indicated in its 2004 report that the regulations to implement section 49 of Act No. 2/1990 are still being examined with the parties concerned, particularly in the oil sector. The Committee requests the Government to report on progress in this process. The Government is also asked to provide information on the employers’ and workers’ organizations consulted in the preparation of these regulations. Furthermore, the Committee urges the Government to provide information on the way in which the provisions of section 49 of Act No. 2/1990 on overtime are applied in practice.

Part V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the practical application of the Convention, including extracts of reports by the inspection services and, to the extent possible, statistical data on the number and nature of the breaches of the rules on hours of work that have been reported.

Furthermore, the Committee raises other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
The Committee observes that a new Law No. 12/1992 of 1 October 1992 on trade unions and labour relations has been promulgated. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the detailed rules applying in certain situations and referred to in section 49 of the Labour Law of 1990 have not yet been adopted. The Government endeavours to adopt such rules and expects the representative organizations to help in the drafting.
The Committee asks the Government to communicate the rules adopted in compliance with the Convention after having consulted the employers’ and workers’ organizations concerned.
The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on the practical application of the Convention, including for instance, extracts from the reports of the inspection services and all relevant information, as requested under Part V of the report form.

The Committee notes the report of the Government for the period June 1988 to June 1990 and the responses it supplied to the Committee's 1990 direct request. In this connection, the Committee would be grateful if the Government, in its forthcoming report, could supply further particulars on the following:
Article 7, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes that under the recently promulgated Law No. 2/1990 governing labour, permanent exceptions are provided for in a general way for point (b) of this provision. It does not appear as though the exceptions cited at points (a) and (c) are expressly covered by the Law. The Committee notes further that regulations will detail the exceptions provided for under national law.
In this connection, the Committee would request the Government to supply copies of the aforementioned regulations, together with an indication of whether such regulations may, within the scope of existing legislation, be drafted so as to ensure that points (a) and (c) of this provision of the Convention are applied.
Article 7, paragraph 3. The Committee notes that under the above-mentioned Law, extraordinary hours are limited to two hours daily, with a ceiling of 200 hours per year. This prescription is, however, apparently limited to situations covered under Article 7, paragraph 1(b) and paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes further that regulations will detail the exceptions provided for under national law.
In this connection, the Committee would request that the Government supply copies of the aforementioned regulations, together with an indication of whether such regulations may, within the scope of existing legislation, be drafted so as to ensure that all of the provisions of the Convention are applied.
Article 8. The Committee notes that the regulations to be promulgated under the Law governing labour are to be drafted after consultation with professional organisations, where such exist. In this connection, the Committee would appreciate if the Government could provide information concerning the social partners with whom such consultations were carried out.
The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government concerning the application of Article 3 of the Convention.
With regard to the question of permanent exceptions, raised in its last comment, the Committee takes note of the Government's reply to the effect that exceptions are not authorised in the cases foreseen under Article 7, paragraph 1(a). However, it would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the draft regulations on exceptions referred to in the Government's report on the application of Convention No. 1 apply generally and could, as appropriate, cover the commerce and offices sector.
The Committee notes that the legislation does not include regulations on the permanent exceptions which may be allowed for certain classes of persons, as provided for in Article 7, paragraph 1. It hopes that the current revision of the legislation will provide regulations on these exceptions, after consultation with employers' and workers' organisations concerned (Article 8) and will determine the maximum number of additional hours which may be allowed (Article 7, paragraph 3).
