Article 3(1) of the Convention. Period during which it is prohibited to work at night. In its previous comments the Committee noted that even though section 18 of the Labour Code prohibits young persons under 18 years of age from performing any night work between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. in industrial establishments, this section is not in conformity with Article 3(1) of the Convention since it does not stipulate a period of 11 consecutive hours at night during which it is prohibited for any young person under 18 years of age to work. The Committee noted, however, that a reform of the Labour Code was under way and that the comments made would be taken into consideration.

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the reform of the Labour Code has been approved by the Chamber of Deputies and is due to be adopted by the Senate. It also notes with interest that the draft reform amends section 18 of the Labour Code to the effect that young persons under 18 years of age may not work at night in industrial and commercial establishments for a period of at least 11 consecutive hours, including the interval between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The Committee expresses the firm hope that the draft reform of the Labour Code will be adopted in the near future and requests the Government to send a copy of it in its next report.
