Article 4 of the Convention. With regard to its previous comments concerning the Supreme Court decision of 7 December 1995, which acknowledged that legislation may modify the substance of a collective agreement concluded for the whole of the public sector, the Committee takes due note of the Government’s statement that it has adopted a new approach for the amendment of collective agreements, based on conciliation and an amicable settlement.

The Committee notes from the Government’s previous and current report that certain legislative amendments concerning new coefficients for the calculation of salaries necessitated the renegotiation of collective agreements in the public sector and that the new collective agreement for public servants and officials was signed in December 2001.
