The Committee notes the observations of the Workers Confederation of Comoros (CTC), received on 19 August 2016. With reference to the application of Convention No. 26, the CTC indicates that the discussions held in the Labour and Employment Advisory Council concerning the minimum wage failed to result in a decision. With regard to the application of Convention No. 95, the CTC notes with regret the failure to resolve the situation of wage arrears, including in the public service, and emphasizes the grave impact of this situation. The Committee notes that the Government’s reports have not been received. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments regarding the observations of the CTC and, in particular, to provide information on any decree or order adopted with respect to the minimum wage after obtaining the opinion of the Labour and Employment Advisory Council, in accordance with section 106 of the Labour Code of 2012. The Committee proposes to examine in detail the application of Conventions Nos 26, 95 and 99 at its next session and hopes that it will have before it the Government’s detailed reports on that subject.
