The Committee refers the Government to its observation and draws its attention to the following points.

Articles 1,2,4,5 and 9 of the Convention. Organization and distribution of duties in labour administration. The Committee notes the information on the organization of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MTSS). It further notes that under Act No. 18566 of September 2009, a Tripartite High Council was established as a body for the coordination and governance of industrial relations, with a remit covering negotiation and labour disputes, and that the MTSS and the social partners were working on the Council’s regulations in September 2010. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on progress in this work and to send copies of any texts adopted. It would also be grateful if the Government would provide information on the Council’s activities.

The Committee once again asks the Government to provide a copy of any activity reports produced by the National Coordination Directorate.

The Committee notes with interest the creation, pursuant to Act No. 18406 of 23 October 2008, of the National Employment and Vocational Training Institute (INEFOP), a non-governmental body set up under public law, which is tripartite in nature and whose functions cover employment and vocational training in the private sector. It also notes with interest that under Decree No. 158/010 of 24 May, a National Council on Corporate Social Responsibility was established, whose duties include promoting and extending the application of policies on corporate social responsibility in the framework of sustainable productive development for the country, focusing on policies for social inclusion, gender issues, vocational training and respect for human rights and the environment. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would send information on the work and supervision of INEFOP and the National Council on Corporate Social Responsibility, along with copies of reports on their activities.

Article 7. Extending the functions of the system of labour administration to certain categories of workers who are not, in law, employed persons. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that under Act No. 18407 of 23 October 2008, which regulates the operation of the cooperative system, members of cooperatives are covered by labour and social security law. The Committee again asks the Government to provide information on the coverage of self-managed enterprises and self-employed workers by the social security system, and on the number of workers in these categories who are covered by such services.
