Article 1 of the Convention. Applicable legislation. The Committee notes that the Government refers to the following texts giving effect to the Convention: (i) the 2010 Constitution of the Republic of Angola; (ii) the new General Labour Act (No. 7/2015); and (iii) the Act on Merchant Shipping, Ports, and Related Activities (No. 2/00). However, the Committee notes that these texts do not include any provision on the application of Article 1 of the Convention on the measures to be taken for the marking of the weight of any package or object of 1,000 kilogrammes (one metric tonne) or more gross weight consigned within its territory for transport by sea or inland waterway. With reference to its 2007 general observation on the application of the Convention, the Committee recalls that it has requested Governments to provide information on how effect is given to the Convention in relation to modern methods of cargo handling, with particular reference to containers. In this regard, the Committee notes that Angola is a party to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), of which Regulation 2 of Chapter VI, which entered into force on 1 July 2016, addresses the issue of the verified gross tonnage of freight containers. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any national text implementing Regulation 2 of Chapter VI of the SOLAS Convention, which would constitute a measure contributing to the implementation of Article 1 of the Convention, and to provide a copy.
Application in general practice. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information considered relevant on the manner in which the Convention is applied, such as, for example, on the functioning of the procedure for the pre-shipment inspection (PEI) of imported goods referred to by the Government in a previous report, or any available data on the number and nature of the violations detected by the inspection services.
