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

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee has noted the information in the Government's first report. It would be glad if the Government would confirm whether, in the absence of legislation to give effect to Article 4 of the Convention by making arrangements for the holding of examinations and the granting of certificates of qualification (and not necessarily providing for training as such), provision exists, as in Netherlands Antilles (to which the Government refers) for the competent authority to recognize certificates of qualification as ship's cook issued in another country, in conformity with Article 6. The Committee recalls that by this means the requirement of Article 3(1) that no person should be engaged as ship's cook unless he holds a certificate of qualification as such may be fulfilled. It hopes the Government will provide all available information in this respect.
