With reference to its previous comments concerning the need to encourage and promote collective bargaining in the public sector, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report according to which the draft Civil Service Code is still pending before the Senate Committee on Civil Service.

Recalling the importance of the development of collective bargaining in the public sector with the only possible exception of public servants engaged in the administration of the State and noting that the draft Civil Service Code was submitted to the above-mentioned Senate Committee on 27 June 1995, the Committee firmly hopes that the said legislation will be adopted shortly. It once again requests the Government to provide a copy of the above-mentioned Code as soon as it is adopted.
