Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - French Polynesia

The Committee notes the Government's report in response to its previous comments.

It regrets that no text has yet been adopted concerning application of the Convention. It notes, however, that the Government deems it necessary to set up a special committee to this end.

In its previous reports, the Government stated that tripartite consultations were frequently held on various work-related matters but not on those set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention and that consultation of employers' and workers' organizations would be held on this matter.

In that regard, the Committee would like to recall that under Article 2, members which have ratified the Convention undertake to initiate procedures to provide effective tripartite consultations on the matters relating to the ILO standards activities set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, and that these procedures, when they have not yet been established, must be determined after consultation with representative organizations.

Accordingly, the Committee trusts that the Government will carry out its commitment to undertaking tripartite consultations on the nature and form of the procedures set out in Article 2 in order to implement them as soon as possible and to give effect to the provisions of the Convention.

It would be grateful if the Government would inform the ILO of any progress made in this direction and supply in its next report complete and detailed information on consultations concerning the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, including their frequency and results.
