Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Food and Catering (Ships' Crews) Convention, 1946 (No. 68) - Guinea-Bissau (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 1(3) of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee takes note of the Government’s indication that a comparative analysis of the MLC, 2006, and national legislation was carried out with the Office’s assistance, and that the MLC, 2006, is currently before the Popular National Assembly for consideration. The Committee further notes that, according to the Government, no legislation had been adopted giving effect to the Convention. The Committee draws the Government’s attention to the fact that the provisions of Convention No. 92 have essentially been reproduced in Regulation 3.2, Standard A3.2 and Guideline B3.2 of the MLC, 2006, and therefore the application of the provisions of Convention No. 68 would facilitate the implementation of the corresponding provisions of the MLC, 2006. The Committee expresses the hope that legislation giving effect to the different provisions of the Convention will soon be adopted and requests the Government to provide information on any development, with regard to the ratification process and the effective implementation of the MLC, 2006.
