The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. The Committee has learned that a new Labour Code was adopted by Legislative Decree No. 5/2007, which, like the earlier Code, contains provisions on protection against acts of anti-union discrimination and interference, and sufficiently dissuasive sanctions.

In its previous comments, the Committee noted that there were very few collective agreements. In the absence of a report from the Government, the Committee is unable to note any improvements in the situation. It recalls that in its previous comments it noted that the Government had sent copies of two collective agreements (telecommunications and private security) and indicated that collective bargaining must be voluntary and that the role of government is to promote it without forcing it. The Government added that technical assistance for building the capacity of the social partners in collective bargaining techniques would contribute to improving the situation. It stated that the social partners were in agreement to request such assistance.

The Committee once again asks the Government to pursue its efforts to promote collective bargaining and expresses the hope that the technical assistance requested by the Government with the agreement of the social partners would be provided in the near future.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary steps in the near future.
