Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body- 51. The Committee last examined this case at its March 2015 meeting, when it made the following recommendations [see 374th Report, para. 626]:
- (a) The Committee invites the Government to institute an investigation, through the labour inspectorate, into the alleged failure to comply with the collective agreement for the period 2013–14 to which the complainant organizations refer and to keep it informed of the outcome without delay.
- (b) With regard to the allegation that the enterprise has opposed the establishment of the bi-national joint conciliation committee even though an agreement signed by Brazil and Paraguay provides for its establishment, the Committee observes that the Government has not replied to this allegation and requests to be kept informed in that regard.
- 52. In its communication of 9 October 2016, the Government provides information and detailed documentation concerning these recommendations. With regard to the alleged failure to comply with the provisions of the collective agreement for the period 2013–14, the Government indicates, based on the investigations and reports of the Department of Labour and the Department of Labour Inspection and Supervision, that there is no record of any complaint regarding failure to comply with the provisions of the collective agreement for the period 2013–14 to which the complainant organizations refer. The Government also reports that a new collective agreement on working conditions has been approved. With regard to the alleged refusal to establish a joint conciliation committee, the Government provides detailed reports of the bi-national body, in which it is emphasized that there is no failure to comply with the Protocol on Labour and Social Security Relations and that an internal complaints committee comprising representatives of the enterprise and the trade unions has been established within the bi-national body pursuant to a collective agreement signed by the complainants and the entity and is fully functional. The committee has been in existence since 1991 and, with regard to its work, the Government attaches many recent records that are evidence of its operation.
- 53. The Committee takes due note of the detailed information provided by the Government and, having received no additional information from any of the complainant organizations since its last examination in 2015, will not pursue its examination of this case.
