Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Accommodation of Crews (Fishermen) Convention, 1966 (No. 126) - Greece (Ratification: 1990)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report. The Committee notes from the report that under article 28(1) of the Greek Constitution, the provisions of the Convention become part of Greek law upon ratification. Furthermore, the report once again refers to a draft Presidential Decree which should ensure application of the Convention by taking account of its provisions and those of Council of Europe Directive 93/103/CE of 23 November 1993, concerning minimum occupational safety and health prescriptions on board fishing vessels - which is to come into force on 23 November 1995.

The Committee wishes to draw the Government's attention to the fact that Article 3, paragraph 1, of the Convention provides that "each Member for which this Convention is in force undertakes to maintain in force laws or regulations which ensure the application of the provisions of Parts II, III and IV of this Convention". It hopes that in its next report the Government will be able to indicate that such legislation has been adopted and that it will provide a copy of it.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 1996.]
