Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1994, Publicación: 81ª reunión CIT (1994)

Convenio sobre la política del empleo, 1964 (núm. 122) - Francia (Ratificación : 1971)

The Committee notes that, by way of a report on the application of the Convention, the Government has forwarded the successive editions of the report on the activities of the employment delegation of the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Vocational Training for the years 1989-90, 1991 and 1992 (the latter reached the Office on 4 February 1994). The Committee points out that, although these documents contain detailed information on the employment situation and the implementation of various labour market measures, they cannot by themselves replace the report due under article 22 of the Constitution of the ILO. The Committee hopes that the Government will supply in its next report all the information required under both the report form approved by the Governing Body and its own comments.

The Committee refers in this respect to paragraph 4 of its previous observation. It reminds the Government of the interest that it attaches to information relating to the manner in which measures adopted under the general economic policy, in fields such as fiscal and monetary policies, industrial policy and prices, incomes and wages policies, contribute "within the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy" to pursuing "as a major goal" the objective of full, productive and freely chosen employment. The Committee also hopes that the next report will indicate the manner in which the representatives of the persons affected, and in particular representatives of employers and workers, are consulted concerning employment policies, in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention.
