Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1996, Publicación: 85ª reunión CIT (1997)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government and the observations made by the Turkish Confederation of Employer Associations (TISK) and the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (TURK-IS) on the application of the Convention.

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Although noting that TISK considers that the Convention is applied in an appropriate manner, the Committee notes that TURK-IS renews its observations with regard to the non-functioning of the advisory committees provided for by the national legislation (the Act of 1946 on the employment service, as revised). It notes that the Government confirms in its report that these committees are not in operation. In this respect, the Government states that the Bill to modernize the employment service, the adoption of which is still under way, contains provisions to secure the cooperation of the representatives of employers and workers in the employment service. With reference to its previous direct requests and recalling that Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention provide that suitable arrangements should be made through advisory committees for the cooperation of representatives of employers and workers in the organization and operation of the employment service and the development of its general policy, the Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures in the very near future to give effect to these provisions of the Convention.

The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government on other matters.
