Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Accommodation of Crews (Fishermen) Convention, 1966 (No. 126) - Brazil (Ratification: 1994)

In its previous comments the Committee had asked the Government to take measures to ensure the application of the provisions of Parts III and IV of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the specific provisions on crew accommodation will be incorporated in Regulatory Norm No. 30 on Maritime Labour, which had been formulated on a tripartite basis and currently was at the public consultation stage, following its official publication, pending possible amendments which may be suggested by organizations of shipowners and maritime workers. Such suggestions would be analysed by the Standing Tripartite Paritarian Commission, and a final norm would be consolidated and republished in the Official Gazette for dissemination and implementation.

The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position in the near future to report on progress made and that the provisions to be adopted will ensure compliance of the national legislation with the requirements of the Convention. The Committee also asks the Government to transmit the text of Regulatory Norm No. 30 when adopted.
