- 102. In its previous examination of the case in November 1999, the Committee made the following recommendations concerning the pending allegations [see 318th Report, para. 595]:
- - The Committee requests the Government to endeavour to promote the negotiation of a collective agreement between the Trade Union of Public Employees of the Venezuelan Scientific Research Institute (SEPIVIC) and the Venezuelan Scientific Research Institute (IVIC) and to keep it informed in this regard.
- - As regards the allegation concerning the delay in issuing a ruling on the appeal lodged by the SEPIVIC against the administrative decision of September 1998 ordering termination of the bargaining process between the trade union and the IVIC, the Committee deplores the time that has elapsed without a decision being issued by the authorities and trusts that a ruling will be handed down on this appeal in the very near future. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the final decision of the administrative authorities in this respect.
- - The Committee invites the complainant to furnish comments in respect of the new Regulations under the Organic Labour Act of 20 January 1999 which regulate collective bargaining in the public sector.
- 103. In a communication dated April 1999, the SEPIVIC indicated that the Ministry of Labour had not yet handed down a ruling on the appeal it had lodged.
- 104. In a communication dated 4 May 2000, the Government sent a copy of the ruling dated 4 April 2000 in which the Minister of Labour (responsible official) declared the appeal lodged by the trade union SEPIVIC to be valid and urged the parties involved to begin the discussions relating to the draft collective agreement.
- 105. The Committee takes note of the administrative ruling dated 4 April 2000 which urges the parties to begin the discussions relating to the draft collective agreement and requests the Government to keep it informed of the results of negotiations. The Committee observes that the complainant organization has not provided any comments in respect of the new Regulations under the Organic Labour Act (which regulate collective bargaining in the public sector) despite having been invited to do so, and it will therefore not continue its examination into this matter.
