Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Fishermen's Competency Certificates Convention, 1966 (No. 125) - Panama (Ratification: 1970)

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 notes that the Government has transmitted to the Directorate General of Consular and Maritime Affairs the contents of its previous comments for necessary action. It trusts that the requirements of the technical cooperation project (UNDP/IMO-PAN/86/008 which aims to set up a system of practical training and examinations on safety and health on board ship) as to minimum age and experience will no longer be inferior to the requirements of Articles 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Convention. The Committee again notes that the Office's advisory services remain at the Government's disposal in relation to any draft legislation produced as a result of the project, in order to ensure that the necessary measures are taken to apply the Convention. It urges the Government to include full details of further developments in its next report.
