Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1998, Publicación: 87ª reunión CIT (1999)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its first report. It notes that section 117 of the Labour Code requires an examination of young persons before they are admitted to employment and that the procedures governing such medical examinations must be determined by regulations to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. However, it would appear that the regulations to apply this provision have not yet been issued. In the absence of such regulations and of information in response to the questions in the report form, it is not possible to determine whether the provisions of the Convention are applied. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged for the adoption of such regulations. It also requests the Government to provide any other information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including for instance extracts of the reports of the inspection services and information on the number and nature of contraventions reported, in accordance with point V of the report form.
