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

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Madagascar (Ratification: 1971)

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:

Article 18, paragraph 4, of the Convention. The Committee recalls the Government's statement that it will not fail to fill the existing gaps by measures to make express provision, through legislation or regulations, for the obligation to make known to workers' representatives the defects noted on the occasion of a visit to an undertaking as well as the measures ordered pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Article of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide the text of the above legislation or regulations as soon as they are adopted.

Articles 26 and 27. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government refers to the information contained in the report concerning the application of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81). According to this report, the information called for under Article 21 of Convention No. 81 (Article 27 of Convention No. 129) are contained in the 1986 activities report of the Department of Labour. However, since this report has not been communicated to the ILO, the Committee hopes that the Government will submit it shortly, and that in the future, annual inspection reports containing full particulars on the activities of the inspection services, including the statistical data called for under Article 27, will be published and communicated to the ILO within the time-limits established in Article 26.
