Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Migration for Employment Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 97) - Ecuador (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee takes note of the Government's report (received in January 1989). It also notes the communication from the Ecuadorian Confederation of Class Organisations, received on 29 March 1989, transmitted by the ILO to the Government by a letter dated 28 April 1989. In its communication, the above Organisation expressed the wish that, in addition to applying the provisions of the Convention, the Government would also give effect to Decision No. 113 of 1988 concerning migrant workers, approved by the Cartagena Agreement (to which Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela are parties).

The Committee hopes that it will be possible for the Government to provide information on this matter and on any new agreements concluded with other member States regulating matters of common interest. Please supply also information on the practical effect given to the Convention indicating, in particular, the number of foreign workers employed in the country, and the results of the work of the inspection service (point V of the report form of the Convention).
