The Committee has been formulating comments, since many years, on the necessity to take measures to give full effect to several provisions of Conventions Nos. 1, 20 and 30.

The Government reiterates in the reports provided this year that these comments have been taken into account in the preliminary draft of the new General Labour Law, prepared with the technical assistance of the ILO. Furthermore, it states that the preliminary draft has been sent to the central organizations of employers and workers (CEPB and COB) for their comments, before the finalized draft is submitted to the National Congress for adoption. The Committee trusts that the new legislation will be adopted in the near future and that it will be in full conformity with the above-mentioned Conventions. It requests the Government to supply detailed information on all relevant developments on the matter.
