Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Officers' Competency Certificates Convention, 1936 (No. 53) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1963)

The Committee notes the information in the Government’s report and recalls that for some years it has spoken about adopting decrees concerning the certification of officers in order to implement the relevant provisions of the Merchant Shipping Code of 1995.

According to the Government’s 2001 report, the Committee understands that assistance funded by the World Bank has been provided, several draft decrees have been prepared (one of which is included with the report), and implementing texts will be adopted by the Ministry of Fisheries in the very near future.

The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of progress in this matter and to forward copies of  final texts when they are adopted.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2003.]
