The Committee notes the Government's report.

Article 4 of the Convention. In its earlier observation, the Committee had noted the requirement for an absolute majority of workers in an enterprise or of workers employed in a particular branch of activity to be represented in order for a trade union to be able to bargain collectively (sections 109 and 110 of the Labour Code). The Committee considered this requirement excessive because, in many cases, it could constitute an obstacle to collective bargaining or even make it impossible. The Committee notes the Government's statement to the effect that whilst no steps have been taken to amend the Labour Code to reduce the majority required to bargain collectively or, at least, to allow a sufficiently representative minority union to conclude collective agreements on behalf of its members, the Government is submitting the Committee's observation to the Consultative Labour Council for review. The Committee also notes with interest the Government's request for ILO technical assistance on this matter. It hopes that the Government shall shortly be in a position to make the necessary amendments and requests the Government to inform it of any developments in this regard.
