Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Malta (Ratification: 1988)

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes in particular that Part V of the Employment and Training Services Act, 1990, which deals with employment agencies, has not yet been implemented and that so far the provisions of the Employment Service Act, 1955, prohibiting private employment agencies, continue to operate.

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee asks the Government to keep the ILO informed on the measures taken to put the relevant provisions of the 1990 Act into force and to supply information, when appropriate, on the following points:

Article 10(c), and Article 11(b), of the Convention. Please indicate in what way fee-charging employment agencies derive pecuniary or other material advantage from employers and whether such agencies shall only charge fees and expenses on a scale submitted to and approved by the competent authority or fixed by the said authority.

Article 10(d), and Article 11(c). Please state what conditions, if any, have been determined for the recruiting of workers abroad, in conformity with these provisions of the Convention.
