In its previous comments, the Committee observed that the national legislation did not give effect to a number of requirements of these Conventions and requested the Government to take all the necessary measures to meet its international obligations in this regard. The Committee notes that, in its reports, the Government indicates that no new legislative measures have been adopted in relation to these Conventions so far. It states, however, that work is under way to bring national legislation into conformity with the relevant provisions of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006), in preparation for its effective implementation before ratification. The Committee recalls that the MLC, 2006, revises and consolidates all the previous maritime Conventions ratified by Egypt. Referring to its previous comments under the maritime Conventions, the Committee requests the Government to take all the necessary measures to bring the national legislation into conformity with the requirements of these Conventions. The Committee further requests the Government to provide information on the developments concerning the process of ratification of the MLC, 2006.
