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

1. Further to its previous direct request, the Committee notes that all the required information has been made available to the ILO, including replies to the questions raised previously.

2. The Committee notes that the information provided does not cover the compilation of statistics of average hours of work (actually worked or paid for) in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any progress made in this regard.

3. The Committee also asks the Government to state the name of the national publication(s) in which the data appear, as this information has not been available.

4. The Committee further notes that, in its report, the Government points out the difficulty of conducting such an enterprise survey. Information depends on the goodwill of employers who may feel overburdened by this task or find it difficult to answer. The Government considers that a statistical law which would make survey response compulsory and protect confidentiality would certainly improve statistical data collection. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures taken to overcome such difficulties.
