1. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In its report received in October 2004, the Government indicates, among other matters, that it has envisaged, in collaboration with Business New Zealand and the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions (NZCTU), the possibility of the ratification of fundamental Conventions Nos. 87 and 138. The Government indicates that, after an assessment was undertaken and consultations held with the representative organizations, it was decided not to ratify Convention No. 87 at this time. A report is to be submitted to the Office on Convention No. 138 with a view to undertaking a general assessment of the situation. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any developments which may occur concerning the possibility of ratifying fundamental Conventions Nos. 87 and 138 and requests it to continue providing full information on the consultations held on the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, during the period covered by the next report.
2. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government reports the efforts made to stagger the sending to the representative organizations of the reports to be submitted under article 22 of the ILO Constitution so as to afford the tripartite partners sufficient time to make their comments. The Committee refers to the comments of the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions (NZCTU) and trusts that the Government will continue its efforts in this respect so as to ensure effective tripartite consultations (Articles 2 and 5, paragraph 1(d), of the Convention).
