Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

The Committee notes the Government’s statement in its report received in August 2006 on section 79 of the Industrial and Labour Relations Act of 1993 in relation to the Tripartite Consultative Labour Council. As the Committee has been aware of this information for several years and has not been provided with any information on the activities of the Consultative Council since 2001, it recalls that, so that it can assess the manner in which effect is given in practice to the provisions of the Convention, it is necessary for the Government’s report to contain precise and up to date information on the implementation of the consultation procedures. The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 81(2) of the 1993 Act, the Tripartite Consultative Labour Council shall meet at least twice annually and it therefore requests the Government to provide precise and up to date information in its next report on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held, including in the Tripartite Consultative Labour Council, on each of the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Please also provide any relevant information on the application of the Convention in practice (Part V of the report form).
