Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 142. The Committee last examined this case at its June 2002 meeting when it requested the Government to ensure that the criminal proceedings against the president of the Independent Trade Union of Workers of the Ilyichevsk Maritime Commercial Port (the NPRP) are carried out with diligence [see 328th Report, paras. 79-82].
2. 143. In its communication dated 23 August 2002, the Government indicated that the Odessa regional administration examined the questions of violation by the administration of the Ilyichevsk Maritime Commercial Port of the NPRP’s trade union rights. Upon verification, it had been found that the port administration has not been transferring trade union dues for a period of 14 months. However, the Government indicated that starting August 2002, the port administration began paying off the debt and had transferred 14,000 griven to the trade union’s account. Furthermore, the Government indicated that according to section 46 of the Law on Trade Unions, “persons who by their acts or failure to act impede the legitimate activity of trade unions shall be liable to the disciplinary, administrative or criminal responsibility”. Therefore, it has been recommended to the NPRP to file a complaint with the courts. The Government further stated that in order to find a solution to the conflict at the Ilyichevsk Maritime Commercial Port, the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy of Ukraine had requested, in August 2002, collaboration from the Ministry of Transport. As concerns the criminal and civil proceedings against the president of the NPRP, Mr. Boychouk, the Government stated that, according to Mr. Boychouk’s declaration of 14 August 2002, all the proceedings against him have been dropped.
3. 144. The Committee notes this information with interest and requests the Government to continue to keep it informed of any further developments relating to this case.
