  1. 35. The Committee examined this case concerning the non-implementation of the collective agreement concluded with the Union of Statistics Workers of the National Institute of Statistics (STINE) at its March 2011 meeting. On that occasion [see 359th Report, paras 63–66], the Committee deeply regretted the time which had passed since the signing of the collective agreement without that agreement being implemented and recalled once again that collective agreements must be binding for both parties. Noting that the case was still awaiting a second judicial hearing, the Committee urged the Government to take measures to ensure that the ongoing procedures were concluded in the very near future and to keep it informed of any developments in that regard.
  2. 36. The Committee takes note of the Government’s communication of 10 August 2015 in which it forwards the observations of the National Institute of Statistics (INE). This administration indicates that: (i) the appeal for annulment of the collective agreement filed by the INE was dismissed in 2013; and (ii) at the invitation of the STINE, in conformity with article 11 of the aforementioned agreement, the new INE administration agreed to establish an agreement implementation committee that meets several times per month, as a result of which most of the provisions of the collective agreement are being implemented and the consequences of the budget restrictions imposed by the Government are being addressed. The Committee notes with interest these developments. In the event that the information forwarded by the Government is not contested by the complainant organization, the Committee will not pursue its examination of this case.
