Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2008, Publicación: 98ª reunión CIT (2009)

Article 2 of the Convention. Maximum working day. The Committee notes with regret that the Government only provides very partial replies to the various points that have been raised for many years. Further to its previous comments concerning section 28 of the Labour Code, which sets a maximum working day of ten hours, the Committee regrets that the Government limits itself to indicating that, since it is a legislative matter, the competent authorities will be informed so that they take into consideration the amendment of the above section during future reforms of the labour legislation. The Committee expresses its firm hope that the comments that it has made on this matter will be taken into account promptly and requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any developments in this regard.

With regard to Article 6 (overtime in the case of temporary exceptions), the Committee requests the Government to refer to the comments made under Article 7 of Convention No. 30.

Furthermore, the Committee addresses a request to the Government directly on other points.
