Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1992, publiée 79ème session CIT (1992)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Roumanie (Ratification: 1973)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report in reply to its earlier observations.

Article 15(c) of the Convention. The Committee recalls that at present rules concerning the confidentiality of sources of complaints do not expressly conform to the Convention. It notes that the Department of Labour Protection of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection is in the process of drafting a new law on labour protection. The Committee would urge the Government to include in the draft provisions which oblige the labour inspectorate to treat as absolutely confidential the source of any complaint bringing to their notice a defect or breach of legal provisions and to give no intimation to the employer or the employer's representative that a visit of inspection was made in consequence of the receipt of such a complaint. It asks the Government to indicate in its next report what measures are to be taken in this regard and to supply a copy of the new draft law. Meanwhile, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the practical application of this provision of the Convention.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes with interest the general information given on the activities of the Department of Labour Protection in 1990, when the basis for efficient organisation was established following the revolution. The Government has also supplied some of the data referred to in these Articles concerning in particular work accidents and occupational diseases. However, the Committee again notes that no inspection report seems to have been compiled and published to comply with the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will, in future, supply to the ILO within the prescribed time-limits a copy of a published annual general report on inspection services, containing all the information required by the Convention.
