Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1995, Publicación: 83ª reunión CIT (1996)

Convenio sobre los métodos para la fijación de salarios mínimos (agricultura), 1951 (núm. 99) - Comoras (Ratificación : 1978)

See under Convention No. 26, as follows:

Article 3, paragraph 2(2), of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the adoption of Decree No. 94-047/PM, of 3 August 1994, governing the organization and functioning of the Higher Council of Labour and Employment, which guarantees representation in equal numbers of employers and workers. It requests the Government to supply information on the functioning and decisions taken by the Higher Council of Labour and Employment in respect of minimum wages.

Article 5, in conjunction with point V of the report form. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the minimum wage is still variable due to the enormous difficulties encountered in fixing a minimum wage which responds to the real and current requirements of the nation, especially as a result of the harmful impact of the devaluation of the CFA franc, which was not accompanied by any related measures. The Committee hopes that it will be possible to find appropriate solutions with regard to the minimum wage in the near future as a result of the work of the Higher Council of Labour and Employment. It also hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to supply detailed information on the effect given in practice to the Convention, including extracts of the reports of the inspection services, the minimum wage rates fixed, the number of workers concerned and any other data available on the results of the application of the minimum wage-fixing machinery.
