The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.

Repetition

The Committee notes the observations of the Christian Confederation of Malagasy Trade Unions (SEKRIMA), received on 2 June 2015.

Article 3 of the Convention. Establishment of maximum weight for manual transport of loads. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the information provided in the Government’s report concerning the entry into force of Inter-Ministerial Order No. 50149/2009 of 8 December 2009, setting the maximum weight for the manual transport of any load by a single male adult worker at 50 kg. In this regard, the Committee notes SEKRIMA’s indication that many workers are unaware of the existence of the Order and that dissemination of it is necessary. The Committee requests the Government to send its comments on this matter.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
