1. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report, received in September 2001, which includes comments by the Confederation of Trade Unions of Turkey (TÜRK-IŞ), the Confederation of Progressive Trade Unions (DISK) and the Turkish Confederation of Employers’ Associations (TISK).

2. The Committee recalls the conclusions of the Conference Committee discussion in 2001, which expressed the firm hope that in the very near future the Government would be in a position to confirm real progress in the application of the Convention. In its report, the Government states that the Bill to amend Act No. 1475, which was the subject of previous comments of the Committee, has been withdrawn. A commission composed of, inter alia, three representatives of TISK, and one worker representative from each of the unions TÜRK-IŞ, the Confederation of Turkish Labour Real Trade Unions (HAK-IS) and DISK, was established to draw up a new draft. The Government lists in its report the basic provisions of the new draft which aims to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee notes this information. It again draws the Government’s attention to the conclusions approved by the Governing Body at its 278th Session (November 2000) concerning the representation alleging non-observance of the Convention, as well as its 2000 observation, and requests a copy of the new legislation once it is adopted. It also notes the comments of TÜRK-IŞ, DISK and TISK pertaining to the new draft, and will consider them when the legislation is received.

3. The Committee notes that no information has been supplied concerning amendment of the Maritime Labour Act (No. 854) and the Journalists Labour Act (No. 5953) to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention. It again requests information on progress made in this respect.

4. Lastly, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to previous comments under Article 12 of the Convention.
