Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2009, publiée 99ème session CIT (2010)

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 information contained in the Government’s report, including the attached “Regulation on Safe Transportation of Radioactive Materials” No. 25869 of 08 July 2005, “Regulation on nuclear and Radiological National Emergencies” No. 23934 15 January 2000 and “Regulation on Radiation Safety” updated on 29 September 2004.

Articles 3, 6, 7 and 8 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, and to the Government’s reply to observations of the Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions of Turkey (DISK) and the Confederation of Public Employees’ Unions of Turkey (TÜRKIYE KAMU-SEN) with regard to certain points of the application of the Convention, the Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report according to which – contrary to information previously provided – “Implementing Regulation on Radiation Security” No. 18861 of 7 September 1985 has not been updated. The Committee requests the Government to clarify the status concerning legislation implementing the Convention, and – if that had not been done previously – to submit copies thereof to enable it to examine the issue raised by DISK and TÜRKIYE KAMU-SEN.

Part V of the report form. Practical application. With reference to its previous comments, and to the observations of the TÜRKIYE KAMU-SEN that the Convention was not being implemented in practice, the Committee notes that the information contained in the Government’s report does not fully respond to its request. The Committee reiterates its request to the Government to give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country, supplying, for example, statistical information, disaggregated by sex if available, on the number of workers covered by the measures giving effect to the Convention, extracts from reports of the inspection services and information concerning the number and nature of contraventions reported and the action taken on them, etc.
