Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes Government’s indication that Guinea-Bissau has no national fleet. While presently the outdated Decree 15.969 of 15 October 1964 deals with the subject matter of the Convention, the draft Labour Act will contain a chapter that will regulate certification of able seamen. The Committee asks the Government to transmit a copy of the new Labour Act once adopted.
