Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1988, publiée 75ème session CIT (1988)

Part II of the Convention. The Committee notes the provisions of section 14 of Supreme Decree No. 20255 of 24 May 1984 by virtue of which it is forbidden for private agents to place workers engaged for the cotton and sugar-cane harvests.

The Government indicates in its report that the General Directorate of Employment of the Ministry of Labour and Development has issued a directive concerning the operation of private employment agencies. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide the Office with a copy of the above directive and, in its next report, indicate the manner in which the General Directorate of Employment's directive gives effect to the provisions of Articles 5 and 9 of the Convention.

The Committee also notes that the Government has not set a fixed time-limit for the abolition of profit-making fee-charging employment agencies, since it is not possible for economic reasons to organise free employment agencies in all the regions of the Republic. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to provide the Office with detailed information on progress achieved in this respect.
