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

The Committee observes that in reply to its previous comments, which concerned, firstly, the work of the labour inspectorate with regard to the prevention of occupational risks in agricultural undertakings and, secondly, the communication and publication of statistical information on the agricultural sector, the Government refers to the information supplied in the report on the application of Convention No. 81. It explains that there are no legislative or regulatory provisions specific to labour inspection in agriculture. However, the Committee notes that the abovementioned report does not contain any information or statistics on labour inspection in agriculture. It reminds the Government that under the provisions of the present Convention it is required to insure that separate information concerning specifically the activities of the labour inspection service in agriculture are provided, either in the form of a separate report or as part of its annual report. The Committee therefore requests the Government once again to supply information on the prevention and monitoring activities undertaken by the labour inspectorate in agricultural undertakings and to send to the Office, in conformity with Article 26 of the Convention, the annual activity report drawn up under section R.711-1 of the Labour Code of New Caledonia containing the information and statistics required by Article 27 of the Convention.
