Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Hours of Work (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1930 (No. 30) - Equatorial Guinea (Ratification: 1985)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report contains no reply to previous comments. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which reads as follows:

Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s indication. The Committee observes that a new Law No. 12/1992 of October on trade unions and labour relations has been promulgated. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the detailed rules applying in certain situations and referred to in section 49 of the Labour Law of 1990 have not yet been adopted. The Government endeavours to adopt such rules and expects the representative organizations to help in the drafting.

The Committee asks the Government to communicate the rules adopted in compliance with the Convention after having consulted the employers’ and workers’ organizations concerned.

The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on the practical application of the Convention, including for instance, extracts from the reports of the inspection services and all relevant information, as requested under Part V of the report form.

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