Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2023, published 112nd ILC session (2024)

Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006) - Luxembourg (Ratification: 2011)

Previous comment

Article I of the Convention. General questions on application. Implementing measures. In its previous comment, the Committee noted that maritime labour law is currently governed by the Act of 9 November 1990, and that a Bill to amend this and several other Acts was in the process of being adopted. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that Bill No. 7329 to amend the Act of 9 November 1990 was subject to a number of amendments dated 29 April 2022 by the Parliamentary Commission on the Economy, Consumer Protection and Space in order to raise the formal opposition expressed by the Council of State in a first opinion. A second opinion of the Council of State is therefore awaited very soon and, in the absence of further objections, the Bill could be voted on by the Chamber of Deputies. The Committee requests the Government to adopt the necessary measures without further delay with a view to the application of the Convention, taking into account the points raised in the request addressed directly to the Government, and to provide copies of the relevant texts once they have been adopted.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.

[The Government is asked to reply in full to the present comments in 2025.]
