The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

The Committee also notes that the Trade Disputes (Arbitration and Settlement) Act, 1964, is to be amended through the enactment of a new Bill. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of developments in this respect and once again requests the Government to provide a copy of the amendments made so far to the Trade Disputes (Arbitration and Settlement) Act, 1964.

The Committee refers to its comments on the application of Convention No. 98 concerning the exclusion of the prison services from the scope of the Trade Unions Decree No. 20 of 1976, the excessive conditions imposed on the establishment of trade unions, and the compulsory recognition for collective bargaining purposes only of unions representing at least 51 per cent of the workers.
