Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

The Committee takes note of the information communicated by the Government in reply to its previous comments concerning the application of Article 15 of the Convention.

Articles 10 and 16. The Committee notes from the Government's report that the number of labour inspectors is insufficient to secure the most effective discharge of the duties conferred on them. It hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to increase the number of the labour inspectorate staff, so that they can perform their tasks effectively and, in particular, carry out regular visits to all workplaces liable to inspection.

Article 13. The Committee takes note of the Government's statement that the proposed amendments to the Labour Code and the draft Regulations concerning labour inspection prepared with the assistance of an ILO expert with a view to facilitating the application of the Convention, have been submitted to the Council of Ministers. It trusts that these texts will shortly be adopted and that they will confer on inspectors the powers provided for in this Article of the Convention.

Article 21. The Committee notes that the annual reports of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs for 1987-88 contain information only on the subjects listed in points (c), (d), (e), and (f) of this Article of the Convention (statistics of workplaces liable to inspection, number of workers employed therein, inspection visits, violations and penalties imposed, and occupational diseases). It hopes that future reports will contain all the information required by Article 21.
