Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2007, publiée 97ème session CIT (2008)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the decision by the Joint Commission No. 00 061/MFPET/DTSS of 24 January 2002 establishing a general increase in minimum wages in the private sector with effect from 1 January 2002, as well as Order No. 00 985/MFPET/DTSS of 2 April 2002 extending the application of the above decision, to all intents and purposes, to all employers and all workers in the sectors concerned. The Committee also notes Order No. 00 987/MFPET/DTSS of 2 April 2002 establishing minimum wages by occupational category for workers in the agricultural and allied trades. However, the Committee notes that the Government’s last report did not provide the information requested on the number of workers covered by the regulations respecting the minimum wage rates or extracts of the reports of the inspection services relating to the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, as well as the number of violations reported and sanctions imposed, in accordance with Article 5 of the Convention and Part V of the report form. The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to compile and transmit the information requested in future reports both under the present Convention and under the Minimum Wage Fixing Machinery (Agriculture) Convention, 1951 (No. 99).
