The Committee notes the Government's report and recalls that its previous comments referred to:

-- the prohibition of the coexistence of two or more unions in the same State body (sections 68, 71, 72 and 73 of the Federal Act on State Employees);

-- the prohibition on a worker in the service of the State from leaving the union to which he belongs (section 69);

-- the prohibition of the re-election of trade union officers (section 75);

-- the prohibition on unions of public servants from joining trade union organizations of workers or rural workers (section 79);

-- the extension of the restrictions applicable to trade unions in general to the single Federation of Unions of Workers in the Service of the State (section 84); and

-- the legal limitation of trade union pluralism at the level of the federation in the banking sector (section 23 of the Act issued under article 123(B)(XIIIbis) of the Constitution).

The Committee regrets to note that the Government has failed to include any new element in its report which would enable it to change the comments that it has been making for many years and that the Government confined itself to including the reiterated points of view of the Federation of Unions of Workers in the Service of the State (FSTSE).

In these conditions, the Committee is bound to express the firm hope that the Government will take measures to bring the Federal Act on State Employees and the Act issued under article 123(B)(XIIIbis) of the Constitution into conformity with the requirements of the Convention and the principles of freedom of association.

The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in its next report of any development in this respect.

[The Government is asked to supply full particulars to the Conference at its 82nd Session.]
