The Committee notes Decree No. 86/903 of 18 July 1986 regulating public contracts and, in particular, section 18 of the above Decree which provides that enterprises tendering for contracts must undertake in their tender to abide by all the legislative provisions and regulations and the provisions of collective agreements concerning the wages, working conditions, safety, health and welfare of the workers concerned. The Committee recalls that Article 2 of the Convention concerns the inclusion of clauses ensuring the same conditions of labour as those established for work of the same character in the trade or industry concerned in the same region, to workers employed in enterprises which have entered into public contracts for the purchase of materials, supplies or equipment or for the performance or supply of services. Consequently, the provisions of Decree No. 86/903 do not give effect to the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary steps to bring its legislation into conformity with the Convention. Furthermore, it suggests that the Government make contact with the ILO, which could offer it the necessary support for the enactment of legislation to implement the Convention; it requests the Office to send the Government the explanatory note that it has prepared indicating the types of measures that may apply in various situations for the implementation of the Convention.
