The Committee notes Order No. 324 of 23 May 2002 on rest periods and days off.

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. According to section 12 of the Order No. 324 of 23 May 2002, a compensatory rest period is granted for derogations from the ordinary weekly rest period, apart from exceptional circumstances in which it is not possible to grant a compensatory rest period and where appropriate protection shall be granted instead.

The Committee recalls that for temporary exemptions, Article 8, paragraph 3, requires in all cases a compensatory rest period of a total duration at least equivalent to the period provided for under Article 6. The Committee therefore asks the Government to take the necessary action to bring the legislation in line with Article 8, paragraph 3, and to inform it accordingly.
