Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2005, Publicación: 95ª reunión CIT (2006)

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:

Article 1, paragraph 4, of the Convention. In its previous comments the Committee noted that two categories of people, namely masters and apprentices, did not appear to be entitled to repatriation, and asked the Government to take all necessary measures to give full effect to this provision of the Convention. It notes the Government’s response that this exclusion will be brought to the attention of the relevant authority. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to report on progress made in the near future and that the provisions to be adopted will ensure compliance of the national legislation with the requirements of Article 1, paragraph 4, of the Convention.
