Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Plantations Convention, 1958 (No. 110) - Côte d'Ivoire (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. It notes in particular the Government's statement that the legislation respecting conditions of employment in plantations has not changed, despite the adoption of Act No. 95-15 of 12 January 1995 issuing the Labour Code.

The Committee notes the Government's reference to section 19 of Decree No. 96-203 of 7 March 1996 respecting hours of work, which provides that the recuperation of hours of work which have been collectively lost may be secured by the extension of daily working hours. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the above Decree, to indicate the elements and/or circumstances which give grounds for considering that "hours of work have been collectively lost" and to provide, as appropriate, a copy of the related case law. It also requests the Government to supply information on the application of the Convention in practice, in accordance with point V of the report form.
