Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

The Committee notes 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:

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its reports for the periods ending 30 June of 1991, 1992 and 1994. It would be grateful if the Government would provide a more detailed report on how the Convention's provisions are being implemented in the manner provided for in the report form approved by the Governing Body. Please also provide further particulars on the points raised below.

Article 6, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes in particular the Government's indication that the Tripartite Consultative Labour Council was established to participate in the preparation, review and coordination of a national employment policy. In this connection, the Committee duly notes the Government's recent indication in its report ending 30 June 1994 that financial constraints have hindered the implementation of national employment service programmes. It also notes that the 1986 annual report of the Ministry of Labour and Social Services (page 5, paragraph 26) indicates that the measures taken by the Government to improve the economy to generate employment opportunities were unsuccessful. It would be grateful if the Government would provide particulars on what further measures have been taken or are envisaged by the Government through the Department of Labour, the Tripartite Consultative Labour Council and other bodies, such as the Employment Board, to reduce unemployment and facilitate the implementation of an effective national employment policy. Please indicate how coordination between the various bodies involved is ensured.

Article 7. The Committee notes the Government's indication that labour administration services cover worker-managed undertakings in the same manner as wage-paid workers and workers in cooperatives and small-scale industry. The Committee requests the Government to provide full details on the actual extension of functions of the system of labour administration to categories of workers who are not, in law, employed persons, such as those described in clauses (a) to (d) of this Article.
