Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1996, publiée 85ème session CIT (1997)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that there is no legislative provision to recognize certificates of qualification as ships' cooks issued in another country, and no legislation, administrative regulations or other actions giving effect to the Convention, as Aruba has no merchant shipping and no seafarers within the meaning of the Convention. It further notes however that the Government will register ships' cooks in accordance with Articles 3 and 6 of the Convention but that it considers a legislative provision in this respect not practicable. Please indicate any future development of merchant shipping in Aruba.
