The Committee notes the Government’s report which supplies elements of information in reply to its observation of 1998. It particularly notes the information on the submission to the Cabinet of a proposal to ratify several international labour Conventions including some core Conventions which have not yet been ratified. According to the information supplied in the report, this submission was carried out subsequent to consultation with the employers’ and workers’ representative organizations within the Joint Tripartite Advisory Committee. The Committee welcomes this information, but considers it insufficient to provide a full picture of the effect given to certain provisions of the Convention. It therefore once again requests the Government to supply further information on the following Articles.

Article 2 of the Convention.  The Committee recalls that it has been asking the Government since 1990 to describe the nature and form of procedures within the Joint Tripartite Advisory Committee to ensure that effective consultations are held on each of the questions set forth in Article 5(1).

Article 5.  The Committee requests the Government to supply full and detailed information on the consultations held during the period covered by the next report on each of the questions set forth in paragraph 1. It wishes to recall in this connection that some of the subjects listed (replies to questionnaires (a), submissions to the competent authorities (b), reports to be made to the International Labour Office (d)) involved annual consultation, while others (re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations (c), proposals for the denunciation of ratified Conventions (e)) require less frequent examination. The Government is also requested to indicate the frequency of consultations and to provide details on the nature of all reports and recommendations which arise therefrom.

Article 6.  In its previous report, in conformity with the present Article, the Government expressed its wish to consult the representative organizations on the need to produce an annual report on the working of the consultation procedures it described. The Government has the Committee’s encouragement in this connection and is requested to communicate, where appropriate, all information on the results of such consultation.
