Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Accommodation of Crews (Fishermen) Convention, 1966 (No. 126) - French Polynesia

The Committee notes the Government’s latest report detailing recent legislative developments concerning fishing crew accommodation, such as the amendments made to section 215 of the regulations annexed to the Order of 23 November 1987, as modified by the Orders of 16 December 2002 and 10 December 2003, and the adoption of Decree No. 96-859 of 26 September 1996 defining vessel inspection modalities.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government continued to provide, in accordance with Part V of the report form, general information on the practical application of the Convention, particularly in view of the recent expansion of the fishing sector in French Polynesia. The Government could, for example, provide reports from the labour inspection services and, if available, statistics concerning the contraventions reported and the follow-up thereto, as well as any other information that would enable the Committee to evaluate more effectively the compliance of national laws and practices with the requirements of the Convention.
