Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee recalls that genuine consultations should be held frequently so that each of the questions listed in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention may be examined when necessary, in accordance with the principle of "effective consultations" set forth in Article 2. Certain subjects (replies to questionnaires, submission to the competent authorities, reports to be made to the ILO under article 22 of the Constitution of the Organisation) imply annual consultations, whereas other subjects (for example, proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions), arise less frequently. In these circumstances, the Committee again requests the Government to describe the measures taken or under consideration to hold regular consultations on these matters. It also requests the Government to furnish detailed information concerning the consultations held (during the period covered by the next report) on the various matters listed in Article 5, paragraph 1, specifying the results that these consultations have led to. Moreover, the Committee recalls that according to Article 6, representative organisations of employers and workers should be consulted on the necessity of producing an annual report on the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention. It requests the Government to state whether such consultations have taken place and, in the affirmative, to provide information on any results.

TEXT

The Committee reiterates the hope that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
