Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Portugal (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes the Government’s report in reply to its previous comments.

It notes that a representation under article 24 of the Constitution of the ILO was presented to the Governing Body by the Union of Labour Inspectors (SIT) (document GB.319/INS/15/6) alleging non-observance by Portugal of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129), and the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155). At its 319th Session (October 2013), the Governing Body decided that the representation was receivable, and appointed a tripartite committee to examine it.

In accordance with its usual practice, the Committee has decided to postpone its examination of the application of this Convention pending the decision of the Governing Body in respect of the representation. The Committee will therefore examine the information supplied by the Government in its report in the light of the decisions adopted in due course by the Governing Body in the framework of the representation.
