The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2009 direct request, which read as follows:

Repetition

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report received in November 2009 in reply to its 2007 direct request. The Government reports that the Tripartite Forum (TRIFOR) Committee is responsible for consultations covered under Convention No. 144, as well as under the various labour laws and regulations. The Government also indicates that consultations are conducted as informally as possible enabling people to speak candidly about concerns and possible solutions. The Committee invites the Government to provide more detailed information on the content and outcome of the consultations held by the TRIFOR Committee on each of the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention.
