Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 89. At its March and November 2001 meetings, the Committee made the following recommendations on the remaining issues [see 326th Report, para. 132]:
   • – the Committee requests the Government to carry out an investigation into the dismissal of trade union official, Mr. Barrueta Gomez, and if it is found to be based on anti-union motives, to reinstate him;
   • – the Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the final outcome of the proceedings concerning the dismissal of trade union leader Mr. Adrian Grispin.
2. 90. In its communications of 24 January and 7 February 2002, the Government states that it will provide the information concerning Mr. Barrueta Gomez as soon as it will receive it from the judicial authorities. The Government also indicates that, on 23 November 2001, the Supreme Court of Justice ruled that the petition filed by Mr. Adrian Grispin against his dismissal was irreceivable (thus confirming the decisions of the lower courts).
3. 91. The Committee notes that the Supreme Court of Justice ruled as irreceivable the petition filed by the trade union leader, Mr. Adrian Grispin, to have his dismissal declared null and void. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the final court decision concerning the dismissal of trade union official Mr. Barrueta Gomez.
