Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 24. At its June 2011 meeting, the Committee made the following recommendations on the matters still pending [see 360th Report, para. 634]:
   • The Committee again requests the Government, in consultation with the most representative workers’ and employers’ organizations, to accelerate the procedure for amending the legislation, ensuring that it fully guarantees respect of the principles of freedom of association for municipal employees, and expresses the firm hope that in the very near future the SITESMUES will be able to represent employees of several municipal authorities.
2. 25. In its communication of 15 February 2012, the Government states that it is continuing to take a tripartite approach to the process of amending and reforming the Civil Service Act by ensuring that measures aimed at guaranteeing and protecting the labour rights of municipal workers are incorporated.
3. 26. The Committee takes note of this information and requests the Government to keep it informed of developments in the social dialogue process undertaken. The Committee hopes to see progress in the near future and reminds the Government that it may avail itself of the ILO’s assistance to that end.
