Articles 5 to 9 of the Convention. Hours of work and rest. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that for 20 years it has been emphasizing that the conditions of work in public and private transport enterprises are not in conformity with the Convention. The Committee notes an initiative to modify the Labour Code submitted by the Ministry of Industrial Relations to the National Assembly for discussion in May 2014. The Committee observes that the aforementioned initiative contains provisions relating to the mandatory break after a continuous four-hour period of driving and the daily rest after at least ten consecutive hours, which are in conformity with Articles 5 and 8 respectively of the Convention. The Committee also observes that the aforementioned initiative provides for a maximum total driving time, including overtime, of ten hours per day and 50 per week, instead of the nine hours per day and 48 per week provided for in Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will include in its next report information on the adoption of new legislation in order to ensure compliance with all the provisions of the Convention.
