The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention and the information available at the Office on the measures being implemented under the labour administration modernization project for Latin America (MATAC/BIT). The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide additional information regarding the application of the following articles.

Article 3 of the Convention. The Government indicates under this provision that, in all labour disputes, whatever their nature, the employers, the workers or the organizations representing them may refer the dispute to arbitration. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would specify, as this Article requires, any activities in the field of national labour policy which are regarded as being matters which, in accordance with national laws or regulations, or national practice, are regulated by having recourse to direct negotiations between employers’ and workers’ organizations.

Article 5. Noting that three tripartite national councils have been set up to deal with employment, wages and labour, respectively, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether, as paragraph 2 of this Article provides, arrangements are made at regional and local levels to secure tripartite consultation, cooperation and negotiation within the system of labour administration.

Article 7. The Government is asked to indicate whether the labour administration covers, because national circumstances so require, workers who are not, in law, employed persons, particularly those referred to in points (a) to (d) of this Article. If not, the Government is asked to state whether, in its view, national conditions require gradual extension of the functions of the system of labour administration to include the above workers, and to indicate the measures taken to that end.

Article 8. Please state which bodies of the system of labour administration are competent to participate in the preparation of the national policy concerning international labour affairs and the representation of the State with respect to such affairs, and the preparation of measures to be taken at the national level with respect thereto.

Article 9. Please provide detailed information on the manner in which it is ensured that regional and local bodies to which labour administration activities may have been delegated are operating in accordance with national laws and regulations and are adhering to the objectives assigned to them.

Article 10, paragraph 2. Please describe the material means and financial resources allocated to the staff of the labour administration system for the performance of their duties.
