Regulation of fee-charging employment agencies. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the report provided in September 2011. The Government recapitulates the legislation and policies adopted since 2004 with a view to promoting active employment policies and emphasizes that the network of public employment services (350 offices in 23 provinces) were able to assist over 400,000 persons in 2010 and 2011. The Committee recalls that in its 2006 observation and its 2010 direct request, the Government was asked to provide practical information on the measures taken to monitor the operations of agencies covered by Decree No. 489/2001, giving effect to Part III of Convention No. 96. The Committee also refers to the 2010 observation relating to the Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88). The Committee once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures adopted to monitor the operations of agencies covered by Decree No. 489/2001. It requests the Government to include with its next report the decisions made by courts on matters of principle relating to the application of the Convention, summaries of inspection reports and also relevant information on the number and nature of the contraventions reported (Article 14 of the Convention and Parts IV and V of the report form).
