Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Belgium (Ratification: 1997)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report and of the documents supplied with it. It has also noted the information contained in the annual report supplied with the report on the application of Convention No. 81 to which the Government refers. The Committee notes that the inspection activities, during the period covered by these reports, were concerned mainly with illegal employment. With reference to Article 6, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the activities of the labour inspection authorities in the other areas of legislation that come within their remit.

Recalling also that an annual report, in the form of a separate report or part of the Government’s annual general report on the activities of the agricultural inspection services concerning the subjects defined in subparagraphs (a) to (g) of Article 27, should be published and communicated by the central authority to the ILO within the period prescribed in Article 26, the Committee requests the Government to ensure that effect is given to these provisions of the Convention.
