Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1988, published 75th ILC session (1988)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Luxembourg (Ratification: 1958)

Part II of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous direct request.

It notes the statement made in the Chamber of Deputies on 23 July 1984 to the effect that the Government undertook to define the status of temporary workers in order to ensure these workers adequate social protection while retaining for enterprises the necessary flexibility.

It also notes that in his statement to Parliament on 26 March 1987, the Prime Minister reiterated the Government's desire to issue regulations concerning temporary employment contracts, and said that the Minister of Labour had recently completed a round of consultations with various employers' and workers' organisations concerning the possibility of issuing regulations concerning all forms of temporary work.

The Committee trusts that the planned measures will be adopted in the near future and in particular that they will give effect to the provisions of Articles 5 (paragraph 2) and 8 of the Convention.
