Medical Examination of Young Persons (Non-Industrial Occupations) Convention, 1946 (No. 78) - Bulgaria (Ratification: 1949)

The Committee takes note of the amendments made to the Labour Code in 1996. It would draw the Government’s attention to the following points.

1. Article 7, paragraph 2. With regard to the methods of identification or other methods of supervision to be adopted for ensuring the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment to children and young persons engaged either on their own account or on account of their parents in itinerant trading or in any other occupation carried on in the streets, the Committee notes that the national legislation does not contain any specific provisions. The Government is accordingly requested to indicate the measures of identification or other methods of supervision taken or envisaged which are designed to ensure the application of the system of medical examination for fitness for employment to children and young persons engaged in itinerant trading or in any other occupation carried on in the streets.

2. Moreover, the Committee requests the Government to refer to its comments made under Convention No. 77 concerning Articles 3, paragraph 3; 4, paragraph 2; 5 and 6.
