Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes that the Government refers in its report to measures taken by the competent authorities to regulate the functioning of fee-charging employment agencies conducted with a view to profit and those without a view to profit in application of the provisions of Part III of the Convention. It is obliged to remind the Government that the Convention was ratified with acceptance of the provisions of its Part II and not Part III as the Government claims. Part II provide for the progressive abolition of fee-charging employment agencies conducted with a view to profit and regulation of other agencies and this remains the obligation of the Government.

The Committee therefore requests the Government to advise on the measures taken or proposed to be taken in respect of Part II.
