The Committee notes that section 8 of Ordinance No. 69-14 of 19 June 1969 concerning the exercise of the right to strike provides, amongst other measures, that the personnel of public or private enterprises, organisations and establishments whose operation is necessary to the life of the nation, may be deprived of their right to resort to strike when the interruption of their service could be prejudicial to the economy and the overriding interests of the nation.

The Committee asks the Government to indicate the public or private establishments, organisations or enterprises whose operation is necessary to the life of the nation and the circumstances in which, in the opinion of the Government, the interruption of the services of these establishments is liable to be prejudicial to the economy and the overriding interests of the nation. It also requests the Government to provide information on the cases in which this provision has been applied.
