Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - French Polynesia

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee regrets that no text has yet been adopted concerning application of the Convention. It notes, however, that the Government deems it necessary to set up a special committee to this end.

In its previous reports, the Government stated that tripartite consultations were frequently held on various work-related matters but not on those set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention and that consultation of employers' and workers' organizations would be held on this matter. In that regard, the Committee would like to recall that under Article 2, members which have ratified the Convention undertake to initiate procedures to provide effective tripartite consultations on the matters relating to the ILO standards activities set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, and that these procedures, when they have not yet been established, must be determined after consultation with representative organizations.

Accordingly, the Committee trusts that the Government will carry out its commitment to undertaking tripartite consultations on the nature and form of the procedures set out in Article 2 in order to implement them as soon as possible and to give effect to the provisions of the Convention. It would be grateful if the Government would inform the ILO of any progress made in this direction and supply in its next report complete and detailed information on consultations concerning the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, including their frequency and results.
