Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Côte d'Ivoire (Ratification: 1992)

Part II of the Convention. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its report and in particular of the preparation of a draft Act authorising the establishment of private offices to carry on operations for the placement of workers. Please supply the ILO with the text of the Act in question as soon as it is adopted. Noting that the law in force still embodies the principles that placement operations are free of charge and that private employment agencies, whether conducted with a view to profit or not, are prohibited, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would specify the legal nature of the operations planned or carried on by such private offices. If they are agencies as defined in Article 1, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention, please indicate what effect, if any, is given to Article 5 of the Convention, which provides for exceptions to the provisions of Article 3, paragraph 1 under certain conditions and within certain limits.
