Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Annual paid leave for agricultural workers. The Committee notes the enactment in August 2012 of the Labour Code No. 37 of 2006 which continues to implement the Convention. It also notes the Government’s indication that since the collapse of the banana industry, agriculture is practiced on a small scale basis. The Committee recalls, in this respect, that the ILO Governing Body has decided that Convention No. 101 is an outdated instrument and that States parties to this Convention should be invited to ratify the more recent Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132). It also recalls that under Article 16 of Convention No. 132, acceptance of the obligations of that Convention in respect of employed persons in agriculture shall ipso jure involve the immediate denunciation of Convention No. 101. Noting that the existing legislation is not limited to agricultural workers but is of general application and also that it gives effect to most of the requirements of Convention No. 132, the Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any decision taken or envisaged with respect to the possible ratification of Convention No. 132.
