Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Estonia (Ratification: 1994)

1. The Committee notes with interest the Government's first report. It notes the establishment in 1992 of the Estonian ILO Council, which is tripartite in composition in accordance with the Convention. It would be grateful if the Government would supply with its next report the texts concerning the establishment, functions and working of the above Council, taking into account the provisions of Articles 2 to 6 of the Convention.

2. Article 4, paragraph 2. The Committee notes the comments made by the Association of Trade Unions to the effect that financing has not been provided for training for participants in the consultation procedures in view of the State's severe budgetary difficulties. It hopes that arrangements will be made at the appropriate time to finance such training. The Government is requested to provide information on this subject in the future.
