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

Accommodation of Crews Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 92) - Republic of Moldova (Ratification: 2005)

The Committee notes 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 3 of the Convention. Laws and regulations. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that no national laws or regulations have so far been adopted to implement the provisions of the Convention. The Committee recalls that in its previous report, the Government had stated that in 2007–08 the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Transport were expected to draw up appropriate regulations and standards for Moldova-flagged seagoing ships. The Committee also recalls that numerous provisions of the Convention are not self-executing and require concrete action, legislative or other, to become effective. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to enact implementing legislation without delay and to provide information on any measures taken or envisaged to that end.

Practical application. The Committee requests the Government to give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for instance, information on the number of seafarers and ships covered by the measures giving effect to the Convention, extracts from reports of the inspection services showing the number and nature of any infringements observed and any difficulties encountered in the application of the Convention.
