Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2005, publiée 95ème session CIT (2006)

The Committee takes note of the discussion that took place at the Conference Committee in June 2005 and notes that in its conclusions the Conference Committee “in a fully constructive spirit, felt that a direct contacts mission could provide greater clarity on the situation, in particular on the ongoing legislative process”. The Committee takes also note of the comments on the application of the Convention presented by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) and requests the Government to provide its observations thereon.

Taking into account the concerns raised by the problems at issue, the Committee regrets that the Government has not yet accepted the suggested direct contacts mission. The Committee expresses the hope that the Government will give a positive response to this suggestion in the very near future. Furthermore, noting that it will examine the pending problems next year in the framework of the regular reporting cycle, the Committee expresses the hope that the Government will send a comprehensive report so as to enable it to fully assess the situation regarding the application of the Convention in law and in practice in the light also of the findings of the mission.
