With reference to its observation, the Committee requests the Government to provide additional information on the following point.
Articles 3(1)(a), 16 and 18 of the Convention. Supervision and effective enforcement of penalties. The Committee notes the indication that in 2011 over 1,350 probable victims of trafficking in persons were released. Of these, 10 per cent were engaged in work in the textile industry. Of the establishments concerned by all of these cases, 32 per cent are located in the Province of Buenos Aires, 19 per cent in the Province of Misiones and the rest are dispersed around the rest of the country. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the cases of trafficking detected in workplaces liable to inspection under the terms of the present Convention, and on the penalties imposed.
The Committee refers to the list of cases referred to the courts which the Government attached to its previous report on the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129). It once again requests the Government to indicate: (i) the authority which drew up the list; (ii) the legal provisions to which the fines related; and (iii) the impact of the sanction procedures on the level of compliance with the relevant provisions.
