Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Netherlands (Ratification: 1973)

Referring to its observation, the Committee wishes to raise the following additional points.

Articles 26 and 27 of the Convention. Annual report on the work of the inspection services in agriculture. The Committee notes the Government’s reference to the information on the labour inspection activities in horticulture from 2011–14, in a document attached to the Government’s report. While the Committee notes the statistical information provided by the Government concerning the incidence of occupational accidents in agriculture from 2009–13, it notes that the Government, once again, has not communicated to the ILO an annual report on the work of the inspection services in agriculture containing the information required under Article 27 of the Convention. The Committee therefore asks the Government, once again, to publish and send to the Office an annual report on the work of the inspection services in agriculture, in accordance with Article 26(1) of the Convention, either as a separate report or as part of its general annual report, and containing information on all the subjects listed in Article 27 (a)–(g). The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on any difficulties encountered in this regard.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
