Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1989, Publicación: 76ª reunión CIT (1989)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its last report, and in particular of Decree No. 2545 fixing the minimum legal wage for 1988, for the urban and rural sectors. It also notes the statistical data enclosed with the report and observes that out of the total number of undertakings visited and issued with warnings for infringement of labour standards, for 1987, primary sector undertakings (agriculture, hunting, fishing and live-stock breeding) account for only 7.4 per cent of total undertakings visited.

The Committee also takes note of the Government's intention to restructure the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, and in particular the labour inspection services.

The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the practical application of this Convention (Article 5 of the Convention), and on labour inspection activities related to its application. The Committee also hopes that the Government will provide information in due course on the measures adopted to restructure the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and, in particular, the labour inspection services so that they are more effective in ensuring the application of the Convention.
