Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Ukraine (Ratification: 2004)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no information on the issues raised in the Committee’s previous comments pursuant to the observations made by the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine (FTUU). The Committee recalls that these comments concerned discrepancies between the Convention and Act No. 877-V concerning the fundamental principles of state supervision in the area of economic activity adopted on 5 April 2007 by the Supreme Council as well as Order No. 502 concerning temporary restrictions on state supervision activities in the area of economic activity which was adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on 23 May 2009 and was applicable until 31 December 2010. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken in order to ensure that Act No. 877-V, which it recognized to be in violation of Articles 12(1)(a) and (2), and 15(c) of the Convention, is amended with a view to bringing it into conformity with the Convention. It also requests the Government to clarify whether Order No. 502, which it also recognized to be contrary to Articles 16 and 18 of the Convention, has ceased to be in force since 1 January 2011, and if that is not the case, to indicate the measures taken in order to repeal it.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2013.]
