National policy to provide permanent and regular employment for dockworkers. The Committee notes with interest the replies provided by the Government to its 2002 direct request, including the English version of the relevant provisions of Law No. 528 of 17 July 2007 by which Ordinance No. 22 of 29 January 1999 on port administration and port services was approved. The Government also appended a detailed text on Romanian Maritime Ports Operation Regulations, published by the National Company of Ports Administration, Constantza. Professional training is assured by a “port school”, a non-profit association specialized in providing training for all categories of dockworkers. The Committee further notes that according to the statistical data provided in the report, the number of registered dockworkers remained stable (3,595 dockworkers were registered in January 2003 and 3,722 were registered in June 2007). The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information in its next reports on the results achieved at the tripartite level in improving the efficiency of work in ports (Part V of the report form).
