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

The Committee notes that the Government’s report again states that there are no procedures ensuring the consultations provided for in the Convention and that the ad hoc working group referred to in the previous report has not been set up. The Committee notes that a technical advisory committee on health and safety met to deal with the texts on the subject, some of which are relevant to the activities of the International Labour Organization, and observes that, although this constitutes progress, the essential provisions of the Convention are still not fully applied. It recalls that under Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention, member States are required to hold effective consultations on the subjects listed in Article 5, paragraph 1. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary steps as soon as possible to bring its practice fully into conformity with the provisions of the Convention and hopes that the next report will show that substantial progress has been made in applying the Convention.
