Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1991, publiée 78ème session CIT (1991)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee recalls that it requested the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure the application of the Convention, since Decree No. 75.147 of 6 May 1975 and Decree No. 80.182 of 23 July 1980 are not sufficient to give effect to the Convention.

The Committee points out that, under the relevant provisions of the above Decrees, the labour clauses to be included in public contracts awarded by public authorities are to be determined by ministerial or inter-ministerial order. The Committee notes the Government's indication in its last report that it will make every effort to take the appropriate measures to bring the national legislation into conformity with the provisions of the Convention as soon as possible. The Committee points out in this connection that, in its previous reports, the Government referred to certain draft decrees and orders which would bring the national legislation into harmony with this Convention. It also recalls that it has been requesting such measures since the ratification of the Convention in 1963. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will be able to supply full information in its next report on the measures that have been taken in this respect.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1991.]
