Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

The Committee notes 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:

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that the Order establishing the status of labour inspectors and supervisors, provided for by section 158 of the Labour Code, is under study. It hopes that the draft Order will be adopted in the near future.

The Committee also notes that the Order establishing the organisation and operation systems of the labour inspectorate and the labour legislation provided for by section 157, in addition to other texts to be issued under the Labour Code, will be prepared by a jurist assigned to the service of the labour directorate with the assistance of an expert made available by the International Labour Office. It hopes that it will be possible to adopt these texts in the near future and requests the Government to supply information on any progress achieved in this respect.

Articles 7, 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, within the context of the stimulation of the labour administration, it is planned to encourage the recruitment and training of new inspectors, to provide further courses and refresher courses for current managerial staff (Articles 7 and 10) and to provide each inspectorate with at least one vehicle (Article 11). It trusts that the Government will make every effort to implement this stimulation policy, and that it will therefore be possible for all establishments throughout the national territory to be inspected regularly and thoroughly in order to ensure the effective application of the labour legislation (Article 16).

Articles 20 and 21. Although it notes the difficulties referred to by the Government in its report, the Committee can only point out once again that a report on the work of the inspection services, containing information on all the subjects listed in Article 21, shall be published and transmitted to the Office within the time-limits set forth in Article 20. It therefore hopes that the Government will not fail to take the necessary measures to give effect to these Articles of the Convention.
