Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1997, Publicación: 86ª reunión CIT (1998)

The Committee notes the report of the committee set up by the Governing Body to examine the representation (under article 24 of the ILO Constitution made by the Confederation of Turkish Trade Unions (TURK-IS)) alleging non-observance by Turkey of the Convention, which report was approved by the Governing Body at its 268th Session in March 1997 (document GB.268/14/5). While approving the report, the Governing Body urged the Government:

-- to take as soon as possible the necessary measures to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention, in accordance with Article 1; and

-- to provide in its first detailed report on the application of the Convention full information in reply to each of the questions in the report form approved by the Governing Body, on the measures taken to this effect.

In this context the Committee notes that the Government's first report, which transmits a communication from the Turkish Confederation of Employers' Associations (TISK) dated 13 October 1997, was received only on 4 December 1997. The Committee is therefore obliged to defer examination of the report to its next session.
