Record of Decisions
This document is a preliminary working paper for the use of the Governing Body and officials of the Office. It records only the Governing Body's decisions, and not the circumstances of their adoption, except where they were the result of a formal vote. The comments or reservations by individual members or groups subject to which the decisions were made will be found in the minutes of the session. Where an Office publication or paper refers to a Governing Body decision, the source given should be the relevant Governing Body document and minutes, and not this Record of Decisions. The Record of Decisions is arranged in the order of the items on the Governing Body's agenda. All decisions relating to a particular paper or section of a paper are grouped together. After the decision the sitting at which it was taken is indicated in brackets together with the basis on which it was taken, including appropriate references to Governing Body papers. The decisions are reproduced in full, with the exception of those relating to reports of the Committee on Freedom of Association, where a simple reference is made to the paragraphs of the report which form the basis of the decision. The table of contents is in the form of a detailed agenda showing for each item the number of the relevant Governing Body paper and that of the relevant paragraph in the Record of Decisions. |

Ad hoc arrangements for the discussion of the global report
under the follow-up to the Declaration at the
88th Session of the International Labour Conference
Principle of the discussion
Having regard to the various options referred to in the Annex to the Declaration, the Governing Body recommends that the global report submitted to the Conference by the Director-General should be dealt with separately from the Director-General's reports under article 12 of the Conference Standing Orders and should be discussed during plenary sittings devoted entirely to it.
Timing of the discussion
Two sittings on the same day should be convened for the discussion of the global report, with the possibility, if necessary, of extending the sitting or convening a further sitting on the same day or on a different day, as appropriate.
In order to take account of the programme of work of the Conference and of the fact that a number of ministers who usually are present during the second week of the Conference may wish to take the floor, the discussion of the global report should be held during the second week of the Conference.
Procedure for the discussion
The separate discussion of the global report recommended above implies in particular that the statements made during the discussion of the global report should not fall under the limitation concerning the number of statements by each speaker in plenary provided for in article 12, paragraph 3, of the Standing Orders, and that the discussion should not be governed by the provisions of article 14, paragraph 6, concerning the time limit for speeches. These provisions should accordingly be suspended under the procedure provided for in article 76 of the Standing Orders to the extent necessary for the discussion of the global report.
Organization of the discussion
Special arrangements will be made by the Officers of the Conference for the organization of the discussion.
The time available would be divided into three phases: a first phase devoted to opening statements by the spokespersons of the Employers and Workers and, if appropriate, by other delegates; a second phase for statements by individual delegates; and a third phase to allow spokespersons of the groups and other delegates to make their concluding remarks in the discussion.
The speaking time would be set, subject to adjustments decided by the Officers of the Conference, at ten minutes for speeches by group spokespersons and at five minutes for delegates' speeches.
4. This organization will be come into being on 1 January 2000; UNI-IGF was previously part of the International Graphical Federation, UNI-MEI of Media and Entertainment International, UNI-IBITS of FIET, and UNI-TELECOMS of Communication International.
5. New name (since May 1997) of the International Federation of Newspaper Publishers.
