Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1992, Publicación: 79ª reunión CIT (1992)

1. In the comments it has been making for several years, the Committee has referred to the absence from national law of provisions to give effect to the Convention. The Committee noted that a model statute concerning dockers was to be prepared pursuant to Act No. 78/12 of 5 August 1978.

In its latest report, the Government indicates that it has not lost sight of the need for, and urgency of, implementing the specific texts provided for in the Health and Safety Enabling Act and that at present the emphasis is being laid on the preparation and adoption of the technical texts.

The Committee hopes that the Government will adopt as soon as possible the necessary measures to ensure compliance with the Convention and that it will report on the progress made in that respect.

2. The Committee notes from the Government's report the adoption of several texts of regulations which are enumerated in the report; it asks the Government to supply with the next report a copy of the Interministerial Order of 5 November 1989 concerning procedure for supervising the processes of loading and unloading dangerous goods.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 3 June 1992.]
