The Committee notes that according to sections 256 and 257 of the Labour Code of 1998, in cases where conciliation fails, the dispute is submitted to compulsory arbitration. The Committee however notes that it is not specified in which delay the arbitration council must render its decision. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report what are the delays in practice concerning the decisions rendered by the arbitration council.
