Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2004, Publicación: 93ª reunión CIT (2005)

The Committee notes with satisfaction from information available at the Office that thanks to technical assistance programme implemented following an institutional diagnosis of the labour administration system, a register of enterprises is now kept in every departmental branch of the labour inspectorate. In the Committee’s view, becoming acquainted with the extent of needs is a decisive step towards the effective working of the inspection services and an evaluation of the extent to which the relevant legislation is applied. It observes in this connection that data on the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the activities carried out in them is essential to assessing the human, financial and logistic resources that are needed to meet the important social objectives of labour inspection. Such data are also useful for setting priorities on the basis of the country’s economic situation and for backing up the annual application to the competent authorities for budgetary resources.

The Committee raises other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
