Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2002, Publicación: 91ª reunión CIT (2003)

The Committee notes that section 114 of Legislative Decree No. 1/037 of 7 July 1993 revising the Labour Code (Legislative Order No. 001/31 of 2 June 1966), provides for, "in every period of seven days, rest comprising at most twenty-four consecutive hours", whereas Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention provides that all persons to whom the Convention applies shall enjoy in every period of seven days a period of weekly rest comprising at least twenty-four consecutive hours. Since section 105 of the revised Labour Code of 1966 and section 3 of Ministerial Ordinance No. 650/22 of 17 February 1984 issuing regulations respecting work on the day of weekly rest and on public holidays are in full conformity with the Convention, it would appear that on this point the wording of section 114 of the new Labour Code contains an error which the Government is requested to revise. The Committee would therefore be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report the measures which have been taken or are envisaged to this end.
