Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee welcomes the copies of the Law on the Social Council and the Law on the Representativeness of Trade Unions, both adopted in 2018 and transmitted by the Government together with its report. According to section 2 of the Law on the Social Council, the main functions of the tripartite Social Council include the establishment and development of social dialogue on issues of importance for the improvement of the economic and social position of employees and employers and their working and living conditions as well as on other issues arising from international instruments. Moreover, section 7 provides that the Social Council considers and takes positions on, inter alia, issues related to the International Labour Organization (section 7). Section 12 provides that the Social Council holds sessions as needed, and at least once every two months. The Committee further notes the information provided by the Government concerning the tripartite consultations held on matters related to international labour standards during the reporting period. The Government indicates that, following tripartite consultations held within the tripartite Social Council of Montenegro, it issued a recommendation to the Ministry of Economic Development regarding the possibility of initiating the procedure for ratification of the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019 (No. 190). Accordingly, the Ministry of Economic Development included the preparation of a Bill on the Ratification of Convention No. 190 in its Work Program for 2021. The Government indicates that, in accordance with section 15 of the Law on the Social Council, the draft Bill will be sent for opinion to the Social Council of Montenegro. Moreover, the Government indicates that the Social Council will also be reviewing an analysis made concerning the compatibility of the national legislation with the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Convention, 1981 (No. 154). The Committee notes that the analysis was developed through the project "Improving Labour Market Governance through Effective Social Dialogue through Labour Reforms", in cooperation with the ILO. Lastly, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that tripartite consultations have been held with respect to the questionnaires on Conference agenda items (Article 5(1)(a)); and reports to be presented to the ILO in relation to the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)). The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide updated detailed information on the frequency, content and outcome of tripartite consultations held on all matters concerning international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention.
