Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - Germany (Ratification: 1991)

The Committee notes the Government's report and in particular the information supplied in reply to its previous comments concerning the application of Articles 7, 8 and 13 of the Convention.

The Committee is grateful that the Government has communicated with its report ample documentation containing published statistics. However, it would appear to the Committee that it would not be necessary for the Government to communicate all this documentation with its reports on this Convention, if the same documentation has previously been sent to the Office, thus making it available also to the Committee.

Article 14. With reference to the observation it is making, the Committee will examine the application of this Article at its next session in the light of the comments made by the German Confederation of Trade Unions and any observations the Government may wish to make in reply.

Article 15. The Committee again asks the Government to indicate which specific standards and guidelines are followed with regard to statistics of strikes and lockouts (in accordance with Article 2).
