The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report.

Article 3 of the Convention (the right of workers' organizations to elect their representatives freely). The Committee notes the provisions of section 6(1) of the Act of 6 May 1974 establishing joint committees in private sector enterprises and organizing the representation of employees in limited companies which provides that "Luxembourg nationals and the nationals of other Member States of the European Community may serve on joint enterprise committees ...". In this respect, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures taken or contemplated to allow foreign workers who are not nationals of other States of the European Union to be allowed to serve on joint enterprise committees, at least after a reasonable period of residence in the host country (see General Survey on freedom of association and collective bargaining, 1994, paragraph 118).
