The Committee notes the Government’s reports for the periods ending on 30 June 2005 and 30 June 2007, received at the ILO on 21 December 2005 and 26 November 2007, respectively, the annual report of the Inspectorate of Labour and Mines (ITM) for 2005 and the legislation attached. It also notes that the Labour Code, adopted on 31 July 2006, does not change the previous legal provisions on labour law, including those on labour inspection.

1. Developments in the labour inspection system. The Committee notes the process to enhance the efficiency and relevance of the labour inspection system, in particular a bill to reform the ITM currently before the competent parliamentary bodies. It awaits any developments in this respect and would grateful if the Government would keep the Office informed.

2. International cooperation in labour inspection. The Committee notes with interest that the annual report of the ITM contains information on each of the subjects set out in Article 21 of the Convention, and also on the ITM’s regional activities in the context of the European Union, such as participation in the drafting of new directives on occupational health and safety, and its activities at international level including the organization, in collaboration with the ILO, of a conference on integrated labour inspection systems held from 9 to 11 March 2005 and attended by delegates from some 70 countries. The Committee notes with interest that according to section 6 of the Act on the Posting of Workers, the ITM’s purpose is to act as a liaison office for international cooperation with counterpart public administrations in the Member States of the European Union. The synergy thus created will enhance action to prevent industrial accidents and occupational diseases among migrant workers, in the “major region” composed of the founding members of the “old Europe”. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the ways and means used to attain this objective, and on the results.

The Committee is addressing a request on another point directly to the Government.
