The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:
Repetition
Articles 5–9 of the Convention. Hours of work and rest. The Committee notes that the Government merely refers in its report to the provisions of the Labour Code concerning conditions of work in public and private transport enterprises, the non-conformity of which with the Convention it has been emphasizing for 20 years. It also notes the new Organic Act on land transport, traffic and road safety, adopted on 24 July 2008, a copy of which has been attached by the Government to its report, but which does not contain any relevant provision regarding the implementation of the Convention. Finally, the Committee notes that the Government refers to the overall reform of the country’s legal system which is currently in progress, without, however, supplying any details regarding the possible preparation of a draft act intended to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention. It recalls that, at the June 2003 session of the International Labour Conference, the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards urged the Government to “adopt the necessary administrative and legal measures, in consultation with the interested representative organizations of workers and employers with a view to bringing the national legislation and practice into conformity with the requirements of the Convention”. The Committee can only reiterate this request once again. It trusts that the Government, 20 years after ratification of the Convention, will finally take all the necessary steps to implement its provisions and proceed with the necessary amendments to the Labour Code. It requests the Government to supply all relevant information on progress made in the application of the Convention.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
