Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2001, publiée 90ème session CIT (2002)

The Committee notes the Government’s report on the application of the Convention and, in particular, the detailed information supplied in reply to its previous comments on the preparation of an annual report. In response to the Government’s request, the Committee recalls that, in accordance with Article 6 of the Convention, the report, if it is issued, should cover the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention. In paragraph 131 of its 2000 General Survey, the Committee noted that this provision does not lay down any requirements as to the form of the report and that, during the preparatory work, it was stated that this report should not necessarily take the form of a separate publication, but could, for example, consist of a section of a more general report. With regard to the working of the procedures, the annual report could for example include information on the composition of any consultative bodies, the number of their meetings, their agenda, the proposals made and the conclusions reached.
