Repetition The Committee also notes that Act No. 2/1990 on working-time arrangements has been repealed with the entry into force of Act No. 10/2012, dated 24 December 2012 reforming the general labour legislation.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 Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee notes that, under section 3 of the Labour Act (Act No. 2/1990), the Labour Act applies to all undertakings, enterprises or establishments in the national territory. However, under section 4 of the Labour Act, the work of public officials is excluded from its scope of application and covered by special regulations. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether public industrial establishments are covered by Act No. 2/1990 and, if not, to provide a copy of the regulations on hours of work applicable to them. Furthermore, section 48(4) of the Labour Act provides that the daily and weekly limits on hours of work do not apply 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.
Repetition Article 6 of the Convention. Permanent and temporary exceptions. In reply to the comments the Committee has been making since 1994, the Government indicated in its 2004 report that the regulations applying section 49 of Act No. 2/1990 were still being examined with the parties concerned, particularly in the oil sector. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the progress made in this matter. The Government is also invited to communicate information on the organizations of employers and workers consulted in the preparation of the abovementioned regulations. Furthermore, the Committee urges the Government to provide information on the manner in which effect is given, in practice, to the provisions of section 49 of Act No. 2/1990 on overtime.

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.
The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide the text of the regulations implementing section 49 of Act No. 2/1990, which are to be made after consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations. It notes in this connection the Government’s statement that Act No. 12/1992 of 1 October 1992, respecting trade unions and collective labour relations, opens up prospects for the formation of workers’ and employers’ organizations which will have a role to play in making regulations and fixing working conditions. More generally, the Committee asks the Government to provide information on the way in which the Convention is applied, including, for example, extracts of labour inspection reports or statistics, as requested in the report form (Part V).

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government to the effect that legislation is to be revised to provide regulations to govern the permanent or temporary exceptions to normal working hours, in accordance with Article 6 of the Convention. In its previous comment, the Committee considered that the degree of development of industry could not exempt the Government from adopting regulations to determine the permanent and temporary exceptions that may be allowed, in accordance with paragraph 1 of this provision, particularly since the legislation (section 39 of Act No. 11/84 of 20 June 1984) envisages the possibility of a number of exceptions (particularly for urgent work and in the event of force majeure).
The Committee hopes that these regulations will be adopted after consultation with the employers' and workers' organisations concerned and that they will determine the maximum number of additional hours that may be authorised in each instance and the increase in the rate of pay, in accordance with paragraph 2 of the same provision.
