Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the detailed information provided by the Government on the application of the Convention, with each development illustrated by precise data reflecting, most notably, the importance given by the public authorities to the tripartite aspect of this instrument, to the coordination of the tasks and responsibilities of the labour administration system, to the criteria for selecting and remunerating public labour officials and to the need to provide them with conditions of service and work which allow them to continue in their posts and improve their skills and qualifications.

The Committee also notes with interest the proliferation of collective agreements, notably in undertakings where there is trade union representation, and that, within the framework of the PHARE project on the promotion of bipartite social dialogue, a web site has been created (http://www.socialaisdialogs.lv) to familiarize the public with this issue. It also notes that a review of the Law on trade unions was undertaken in 2004, with a view to bringing it into line with ILO Conventions, Recommendations and resolutions and ensuring that the decisions and agreements adopted as a result of negotiation are of a binding nature.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate any changes in the functioning of the labour administration system over the period covered by the next report and provide a copy of the Trade Union Act once it has been adopted.
