Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - France (Ratification: 1951)

The Committee notes the Government’s confirmation in its last report that the new Public Procurement Code, adopted by Decree No. 2006-975 of 1 August 2006, no longer gives effect to the Convention, in contrast with the Public Procurement Code of 1964. The Committee requests the Government to reply to the detailed comments that it made at its previous session and to indicate the reasons why the Public Procurement Code of 2006 does not contain provisions giving effect to the Convention.

The Committee also draws the Government’s attention to the General Survey that it has prepared this year on labour clauses in public contracts, which gives an overview of the law and practice of member States on this subject and contains an assessment of the impact and current relevance of Convention No. 94.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2008.]
