Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

The Committee notes the Government’s reports and the abundant documentation attached to them. It notes with satisfaction that, following the observations by the TUC regarding the inadequacy of the legislation in respect of certain labour law issues in connection with the provisions of the Convention, laws and regulations on the minimum wage, health and safety at work and the reporting of injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences have recently been adopted and that a copy of them has been sent to the ILO. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the arrangements made or envisaged to ensure that labour inspectors will be in a position to perform their duties effectively in respect of the new tasks arising out of this new legislation.

The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government in connection with its general observation of 1999.
