The Committee takes note of the information contained in the Government’s report received in July 2005.
1. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In reply to the Committee’s previous direct request, the Government indicates that the National Tripartite Committee of Labour and Social Consensus, composed of government, workers’ and employers’ representatives in equal numbers, has been the main organ developing tripartite relations in the country. The National Tripartite Committee meets at least once every three months and makes recommendations on various labour issues, such as developing and implementing state policy on labour matters, settling collective labour disputes, and monitoring implementation of the national agreement on social consensus. The Committee takes note of this information and requests the Government to keep providing detailed information on consultations held on all matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, during the period covered by the next report, specifying their purpose and frequency, and the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting from the consultations.
2. Financing of training and operation of the consultation procedures. The Government indicates that funding for the National Tripartite Committee is included on a yearly basis in the budget of the Ministry of Social Welfare and Labour. The Committee recalls that, where training for participants in the consultations proves to be necessary to enable them to perform their functions effectively, its financing should be provided through appropriate arrangements between the Government and the representative organizations (paragraphs 125 and 126 of the General Survey of 2000 on tripartite consultations). It requests the Government to indicate whether such arrangements have been made and, if so, to describe them (Article 4, paragraph 2). The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on the consultations held with the representative organizations, on the "working of the procedures", as envisaged in the Convention (Article 6).
