Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - France (Ratification: 1951)

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the decision of the Council of State of 16 December 2005 respecting Order No. 45-2592 of 2 November 1945 had the effect of repealing implicitly section 10 of the Order and thereby guaranteeing the right to organize of bailiffs as employers and the right to collective bargaining of their occupational organizations. The Committee recalls that several Orders of 2 November 1945 governing the status of other ministerial officers contain provisions similar to those of Order No. 45-2592, thereby raising issues of compatibility with the Convention (Orders Nos 45-2590 respecting the status of notaries, 45-2591 respecting the status of barristers and 45-2593 respecting the status of judicial auctioneers). The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether, in the light of the decision of 16 December 2005 of the Council of State, measures have been taken to repeal expressly the relevant provisions of Orders Nos 45‑2590, 45-2591, 45-2592 and 45-2593.
