Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2001, Publicación: 90ª reunión CIT (2002)

Articles 8(1) and 11(1) of the Convention. Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes with regret that the Government repeats the information supplied previously and again indicates that the competent authorities are reviewing the draft Legislative Decree to amend section 88(a) of the Labour Code on which the Committee has been commenting for several years. The Government states that following the comments made by the International Labour Office in August 1998 on an earlier version of the proposed amendment, a new text is being prepared and will be forwarded in due course. The Committee again expresses hope that the draft Legislative Decree will be promulgated without further delay in so far as it brings the provisions of the legislation into line with the requirements of the Convention. It urges the Government to proceed rapidly with the necessary amendments in order to eliminate the discrepancies to which the Committee has been drawing attention for some time in the past. The Committee recalls that the technical assistance of the International Labour Office is available to the Government, and requests the Government to keep it informed in its next report of any real progress achieved in this respect.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2002.]
