Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Polynésie française

Articles 2 and 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee takes note of the information sent in the Government’s report received in August 2007. It notes in particular the tripartite consultation held in 28 June 2005 on the social partners’ observations regarding reports on the application of ratified Conventions. Despite the measures taken to enforce the provisions of the Convention in French Polynesia, the Government indicates that no tripartite consultations were held in 2006. Following changes in the Government of French Polynesia and the appointment of a new chief of the labour inspection service in December 2006, it was not possible to submit the reports to the social partners before sending them to the ILO, but the consultation should be held in the second half of July 2007. The Committee reminds the Government that the obligation under Article 5, paragraph 1(d), of the Convention pertains to consultations of the representative organizations which must be held during the preparation of the reports on the application of ratified Conventions, and must be clearly distinguished from the obligation to communicate these reports under article 23, paragraph 2, of the Constitution (General Survey of 2000, paragraph 92). The Committee hopes that the next report will contain detailed information on effective tripartite consultations held in French Polynesia on Article 5, paragraph 1(d), and each of the other subjects listed at Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
