1. 21. The Committee last examined this case, the allegations for which concerned the non-compliance by the National Health Fund (CNS) with a collective agreement and retaliation against trade unionists at its October 2014 meeting [see 373rd Report, paras 58–78]. On that occasion, the Committee requested the Government to inform it urgently of the outcome of the proceedings initiated against two officials of the CNS National Legal Department and against the Fund’s Administrative and Financial Manager for acting in excess of their authority in signing the collective agreement of 26 December 2011.
2. 22. As part of the follow-up to the case, in a communication of 12 August 2015, the Government states that, through Decision No. 209/12, the legal action against the CNS Administrative and Financial Manager and the two officials of the CNS National Legal Department concerned for allegedly acting in excess of their authority was declared null and void, on the basis of Report No. 540/12 of 31 October 2012 of the CNS National Legal Department. The Government specifies that the persons in question were acquitted of the charge of acting in excess of their authority since they had acted in line with special and sufficient authorization.
3. 23. Having duly noted that the proceedings initiated in relation to acting in excess of authority in the signing of a collective agreement had been dismissed, the Committee will not pursue its examination of this case.
