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

The Committee notes with regret 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:

The Committee notes from the Government's 1989 report that the number of vessels engaged in the coastal trade has increased and that new legislation is envisaged which will give effect to Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that measures will also be taken to ensure the application of Article 4, paragraph 2, and Articles 5 and 6 of the Convention, and that the Government's next report will contain information on this subject.

The Committee further draws the Government's attention to the general direct request to forward a specimen of the seafarers' identity document with the 1998 report on the application of the Convention.
