The Committee notes that the situation with regard to the application of the Convention hardly appears to have changed since its last comment in 1966, in which it noted that, according to the information provided by the Government, under the existing economic and social system, no public contracts were concluded with private employers. The Committee also noted that the administrative agreements concluded between public authorities and public bodies for public works or services merely dealt with technical matters, without affecting the conditions of work laid down in national legislation, and that these agreements did not include clauses of the kind provided for in Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee requested the Government to keep the situation under review and to report any development in regard to the application of the Convention.

The Committee is bound to note that the Convention continues to be practically without effect under the present conditions. The Committee understands that the economic and social system of the country has not been subject to change since the Committee’s last comment in 1966 in a way that would affect the application of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to re-examine the possibility of adopting legislation that gives effect to the Convention in the event that the conclusion of public contracts with private employees is authorized and to keep it informed of any development in this respect.
