Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

The Committee notes from the Government's report that the only measure apparently taken to ensure observance of the Convention was the distribution of its text to the national transport federations and the Federation of Professional Drivers of Ecuador, and requesting them to apply the Convention.

It also notes that the Ministry of Labour has no data available concerning the practical application of the Convention since this subject is in the competence of the National Transit and Land Transport Council. It further notes that, according to a communication from the Council, the latter did not have any details concerning the application of the Convention, which had to be exclusively observed by the transport entrepreneurs, who in turn were subject to the control of the Ministry of Labour. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to establish clear competences among the various parts of the administration, so that they are in a position to make effective the provisions of the Convention and to furnish the required information. It further requests the Government to ensure that not only information concerning the practical application of the Convention but also the relevant national legislation is provided with its next report, as requested in the report form.

The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1993.
