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

Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Tunisia (Ratification: 1957)

The Committee notes the information relating to the number of workplaces liable to inspection (29,397 in 2006) and the number of workers employed in such workplaces (775,715) provided by the Government in reply to its request. It recalls that, under Article 21 of the Convention, this information has to be included in the annual report on the work of the inspection services. The Committee therefore hopes that this information will be included in the next activity report and that this report will be published by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Solidarity and Tunisians Abroad, in accordance with Article 20, paragraphs 1 and 2.

With regard to the other points raised in its previous comments, the Committee trusts that the Government will provide the information requested on the conditions for the recruitment of labour inspectors, the labour inspection activities in the field of child labour and the administrative or legal measures taken in response to the violations identified, as soon as such information is available, in accordance with the undertaking given in its report.
