Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Syrian Arab Republic (Ratification: 1957)

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 takes note of the Government's observations concerning the request for information on the practical effect given to the Convention. The Committee recalls that point V of the report form for the Convention envisages that governments should give a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied including, for instance, extracts from official reports, information concerning the number of contracts and workers covered by the relevant legislation, etc. This form, which was adopted by the Governing Body of the ILO, is the channel through which the Committee may obtain all types of information concerning the application of the Convention through legislation and practical means. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will be in a position to supply in its forthcoming reports the necessary information on the practical application of the Convention as indicated in the previous requests of the Committee.

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would transmit with its report a copy of Circular No. 70/b.2174/15 of 22 July 1969 concerning the payment of wages due to workers engaged under public contracts.
