It adds that the Ministry of Social Security and Labour consults employers’ and workers’ organizations regarding all questionnaires received from the ILO. In this context, consultations were held and the comments received from the social partners were included in the Government’s response to the questionnaires related to the Conference item on “Ending violence and harassment in the world of work” in 2017 and 2018. The Government indicates that, on 4 February 2016, information regarding the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204) was sent to the most representative Lithuanian workers’ and employers’ organizations.
