Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1996, published 85th ILC session (1997)

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Bolivia (Plurinational State of) (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report to the effect that the preliminary draft of the new General Labour Act has incorporated the agricultural sector into the scope of its provisions through the abolition of the exception covering agricultural work contained in the current legislation. It also notes that measures will be adopted to establish a system of inspection covering all agricultural enterprises under the regulations that are to be issued under the Administrative Reform Act No. 1493 of 17 September 1993, known as the Executive Authority Ministries Act. With reference, mutatis mutandis, to its comments on the application of Convention No. 81, the Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future to give full effect to the provisions of this Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
