1. The Committee is grateful for the detailed information provided by the Government on the activities of the National Tripartite Cooperation Council. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide reports on the consultations held on the matters covered by the Convention and, in particular, on the consultations held during the period covered by the next report by the National Tripartite Cooperation Council on the issues set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention and, as appropriate, on the nature of any reports or recommendations adopted by the above Council.

2. In relation to its previous direct request, the Committee notes the Government’s observations concerning the communication dated 15 September 1999 of the Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Latvia (LBAS) denouncing the violation of the rules of procedure of the National Tripartite Cooperation Council on the occasion of the revision of the national legislation on public pensions. According to the Government’s reply, the amendments to the law had to be adopted in a very short period of time and this made it impossible to hold the consultations on that particular situation but, in 1999, the Government prepared new amendments to the legislation on public pensions taking into account the proposals of LBAS. The Committee notes that these amendments were accepted by the National Tripartite Cooperation Council on November 1999 and the amendments came into force on 8 December 1999.
