1. Further to its 1999 observation, the Committee notes that draft labour laws were prepared on the basis of the Commission on Consolidation of Labours Laws’ recommendations which held tripartite consultations. The Government also states that it will continue to promote the tripartite consultation process in future as well and will involve workers’ and employers’ organizations in the decision- making process. The Committee would appreciate receiving information on any other tripartite consultations taking place within the revision of the labour legislation and asks the Government to inform it, where appropriate, of any consultation undertaken on the adoption of a specific tripartite procedure (Article 2 of the Convention).
