Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1993, Publicación: 80ª reunión CIT (1993)

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

The Committee has noted the Government's replies to its previous comments. It notes that Instructions No. 22 of 1987 concerning safety and health at work do not seem to apply to ships, since they do not relate to the public sector. It recalls that, while there is some legislation referring in general terms to inspection in the Civil Marine Service and dealing with some specific aspects of working conditions, there appear to be no detailed laws and regulations as required by Article 3 of the Convention ensuring the application of Parts II (Planning and Control of Crew Accommodation), III (Crew Accommodation Requirements) and IV (Application of Convention to Existing Ships). The Committee fully appreciates the efforts made by the competent maritime administration, as mentioned in the report. However, it would hope that the Government will envisage taking the necessary legislative and practical measures - perhaps with the benefit of the ILO's technical advice - in order to apply the Convention in full. It hopes the next report will include details of the steps taken or proposed to this effect.
