Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Malawi (Ratification: 1986)

The Committee notes the information sent by the Government in September 2001 in reply to its previous direct request. The Government states that the Tripartite Labour Advisory Council met three times during the period from September 2000 to August 2001, to set new minimum wages and recommend new minimum wages for apprentices and craft technicians. The Committee notes this information. It again requests further information on the other questions listed under Article 5(1) of the Convention, namely items on the agenda of the International Labour Conference (point (a)), and the submission of instruments to the competent authorities (point (b)), all of which require annual consultation similar to that in respect of the reports to be submitted to the ILO. The Committee also requests the Government to supply any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations, as required under Article 5.
