Decision on the 17th item on the agenda: Report of the Director-General

Seventh Supplementary Report: Further developments in relation to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

The Governing Body:

(a) expressed its concern and disappointment that despite the objections it had raised the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) had decided to proceed with activity in the field of human resources management;

(b) requested the Director-General to respond to any ISO request for cooperation on this matter by underlining the need for a clear and shared understanding of the respective competences of the ILO and of the ISO as the precondition for any such cooperation.
