Repetition

Article 1 of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee noted that according to section 1 of the Labour Code, the Code applies only to persons bound by a labour contract. The Committee recalled that the Convention applies to all children and young people employed for wages, or working directly or indirectly for gain, in non-industrial occupations. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the measures adopted or envisaged to ensure that self-employed children and children working in non-industrial occupations without a contract of employment benefit from the protection afforded by the Convention.

Article 6(1)(a). Labour inspection. The Committee noted the Government’s information that according to Order No. 596 of 30 December 2001, a State Labour Inspectorate was set up under the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection to enforce the legislation concerning labour and working conditions. It also noted that according to section 252 of the Labour Code, the labour inspectors are entitled to fine employers who violate the provisions of the labour laws. The Committee noted the Government’s indication that in 2004, state labour inspectors carried out inspections and investigations in 762 undertakings. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the number of violations related to night work by children detected by the state labour inspectorate.

Article 6(1)(b). Registers. The Committee noted the absence of information in the Government’s report on this point. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the provisions which require the employers to keep a registry showing the names, date of birth and hours of work of workers under 18 years of age.
