Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

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

The Committee notes the brief information contained in the Government's report for the period ending 30 April 1997. It regrets that no text has yet been adopted concerning application of the Convention even though, in its previous report, the Government acknowledged the need to set up a special committee for the purpose. The Government attaches to its report a copy of the report on the application of the Convention for the period from 1 July 1990 to 30 June 1991, indicating that there have been no changes since then. In this connection, the Committee notes that the Government does not reply to the comments it has been making for many years on the need to hold tripartite consultations on the nature and form of the procedures set out in Article 2 of the Convention in order to provide effective tripartite consultations on the matters relating to the ILO standards activities set out in Article 5, paragraph 1. Consequently, the Committee requests the Government to hold tripartite consultations as soon as possible in order to bring its practice fully into conformity with the essential provisions of the Convention. It trusts that, in its next report, the Government will be able to provide full and detailed information on progress made to this end.

Nothing the observation made by the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT), the Committee requests the Government to indicate, as required by point VI of the report form, whether it has received any observations from representative organizations of employers and workers to whom the reports on application of the Convention are communicated.
