Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2002, publiée 91ème session CIT (2003)

The Committee notes the Government’s report and the replies to its previous comments. It also notes the promulgation of Royal Legislative Decree No. 5/2000 to approve the amended text on offences and sanctions in labour law and Royal Decree No. 1125 of 19 October 2001 amending the regulations on the organization and running of the labour and social security inspectorate.

The Committee notes with interest the figures, provided at its request, on occupational accidents and diseases and their causes, and on the activities of the labour inspectorate in the area of child labour in the agricultural sector (establishments visited, number of visits, infringements recorded, penalties imposed). With reference to its previous observation on the action taken by labour inspectors in the context of a programme targeting young border workers in 1998 and 1999, the Committee again requests the Government to send information on the results of these measures.
