Case No 2725 (Argentina) - Complaint date: 10-JUL-09 - Closed

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

1. 18. The Committee last examined the substance of the case at its November 2012 meeting [see 365th Report, paras 23–26]. On that occasion, the Committee requested the Government: (i) to keep it informed regarding the fine applied to the Mendoza Association of Health Professionals (AMPROS) for non-compliance with the call to compulsory conciliation, of the ruling handed down; and (ii) to send its observations without delay on the allegations made by the Trade Union Federation of Health Professionals of the Argentine Republic (FESPROSA) concerning sanctions against certain trade unionists, and reiterated its invitation to the complainant organization, FESPROSA, to provide information on this matter.
2. 19. As part of the follow-up case, in its communication of 18 March 2013 the Government refers to an agreement signed between AMPROS and the government of the province of Mendoza, which has been approved by the Governor of that province (ad referendum by the provincial legislature), and under which it was agreed to cancel the fine imposed by Resolution No. 210/11 and also to withdraw Violation Report No. 403.049 of 7 December 2010. The Government reports that, in accordance with the agreement, the relevant judicial and administrative proceedings were suspended. On the other hand, the text of the agreement should specify that when the approval formalities have been duly completed, the complaint lodged by AMPROS before the Committee would be withdrawn.
3. 20. Under these circumstances, since no other observations were provided by the complainants, the Committee will not pursue its examination of the case.
