The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous direct request asking for more detailed information on the application of Article 2 of the Convention.

While the information provided by the Government is useful, it does not answer the previous request for more detailed information on the practical implementation of this Article. To make it possible to assess more precisely the extent to which Article 2 is applied, the Committee accordingly would refer the Government to the types of facilities to be afforded to workers' representatives set out in Chapter IV of Recommendation No. 143 (such as: time off for attending trade union meetings, training courses, seminars, congresses and conferences; appropriate access to workplaces; notice boards, etc.) and asks it whether these are provided in the undertaking. The Committee also requests clarification of the role of the executive committee of the General Confederation of Trade Unions in obtaining time off for certain high-level union officers so that they may devote themselves to trade union activities (section 27(7) of the Trade Unions Act of 1987).
