The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report. It would be grateful if the Government would provide, in accordance with Part V of the report form, general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for instance, details on the number of professional fishers covered by the Convention and statistics, if available, on the number of medical examinations carried out and medical certificates issued each year. The Committee also requests information on the economic importance of the fishing sector, copies of publications or studies by public bodies, such as the National Fishing Institute (INP), on human resources in the sector, and extracts from inspection service reports containing information on the number and nature of the violations reported and the penalties imposed.
The Committee takes note of the communication, dated 22 January 1988, sent to the ILO by the Ecuadorian Confederation of Workers' Organisations, concerning the application of the Convention. According to the communication, the Government should adopt effective measures to monitor compliance with the provisions of the Convention and keep a register of relevant statistics. The above communication was brought to the attention of the Government in February 1988. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would comment on the communication and provide information on the practical effect given to the Convention (Parts III and V of the report form).
