Article 2 of the Convention. Right to weekly rest. The Committee notes that, under section 183 of the Labour Code, Decrees Nos 726/PR/MTEFP and 728/PR/MTEFP of 29 June 1998 establish the arrangements for the application of specific weekly rest schemes for certain sectors. Furthermore, it notes that the period of weekly rest is also determined by many collective agreements. It requests the Government to provide a copy of the collective agreement for the industrial sector. The Committee also asks the Government to provide more detailed information on the application of the Convention in the road, rail and internal waterways transport sector, and in ports, and to provide copies of any applicable collective agreement that is in force.
Articles 4 and 5. Total or partial exceptions to the weekly rest scheme. The Committee notes, under the terms of section 14 of Decree No. 726/PR/MTEFP of 29 June 1998, the statutory duration of actual work may be extended, particularly in the case of urgent work to prevent accidents or to deal with exceptional cases of pressure of work. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the normal weekly rest scheme can be affected by these exceptions and, if so, to explain how effect is given to the provision of the Convention requiring the granting of compensatory periods of rest, as far as possible, in cases of the suspension or diminution of the period of weekly rest.
