Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1997, publiée 86ème session CIT (1998)

The Committee notes the Government's report does not reply to the points raised. It must therefore repeat its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Further to its previous comments the Committee notes that the draft texts to apply sections 84, 134 and 135 of the Merchant Shipping Code (which lays the basis for the issuance of regulatory texts concerning professional requirements and certificates generally) are still under study. It hopes that measures will be taken on this matter and that the Government will be in a position to supply information on any new development in this respect in the very near future. The Committee further requests the Government to provide up-to-date information on the number and tonnage of sea-going vessels, whether publicly or privately owned, which are engaged in the transport of cargo or passengers for the purpose of trade, flying the Djibouti flag (Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention).
