Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

Convenio sobre los certificados de competencia de pescadores, 1966 (núm. 125) - Panamá (Ratificación : 1970)

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that a technical co-operation project (UNDP/IMO-PAN/86/008) is aiming to set up a system of practical training and examinations on safety and health on board ship, and in particular take account of the present Convention's requirements. The Committee has also noted, however, that some of the proposals in the project document as to the minimum age and experience for certification are inferior to the requirements of Articles 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the project will not fail to give full weight to these requirements and that progress will soon be made in ensuring the application of the Convention. It notes that the Office's advisory services remain at the Government's disposal in relation to any draft legislation produced as a result of the project. The Committee trusts that the Government will include full details of further developments in its next report.
