Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

With reference to its observation also, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the following matters.

Article 9 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the requirements for this Article continue to be observed. It trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures to transmit regularly the statistics referred to in these provisions to the ILO as soon as they become available for this and that the information will be accompanied by information, as required in Articles 5 and 6.

Article 11. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that estimates concerning labour costs in industry have not been supplied to the Office for several years. It is therefore bound to draw the Government’s attention again to the obligation, under Article 5, to communicate to the ILO, as soon as practicable, the published statistics compiled in pursuance of this Article and information concerning their publication.

Article 14. While noting with interest the progress made in compilation of statistics on occupational industries and occupational diseases, the Committee again draws the Government’s attention to the obligation, in compliance with Articles 2, 3, 5, and 6, to supply information on: (i) standards and guidelines that have been taken into account in designing the concepts, definitions and methodology used (Article 2); (ii) the consultations held with representative organizations of employers and workers in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used in the collection, compilation and publication of such statistics (Article 3); (iii) the title and reference number of the principal publication which contains the detailed descriptions of the survey methodology used (Article 6). The Committee trusts that the Government will ensure that the statistics compiled and published pursuant to this Article are communicated to the ILO, as soon as practicable.
