Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1996, publiée 85ème session CIT (1997)

Convention (n° 81) sur l'inspection du travail, 1947 - Comores (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report to the effect that the texts respecting the terms and conditions of service of labour inspectors and supervisors and the organization of labour inspection have not yet been adopted. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures for the adoption of these texts in the very near future.

Articles 7, 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report describing the measures taken for the training of inspectors (the initiative of joining the CRADAT) and the purchase of a vehicle. However, it considers that, in view of the problems and difficulties encountered by the labour inspectorate, as emphasized in the reports on the role and situation of the labour inspection services of Moroni and Anjouan, these measures do not appear to be sufficient to achieve an improvement in practice in the situation and effectiveness of the labour inspectorate. The Committee requests the Government to supply a fuller report on the situation of the labour inspectorate throughout the country and to indicate the measures which have been taken or are envisaged, possibly with the technical assistance of the ILO, in order to give effect to these provisions of the Convention.

Articles 20 and 21. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that no inspection report has been transmitted and that no indication has been given of the specific difficulties encountered by the Government in compiling and publishing these reports. The Committee expresses the firm hope that the Government will take the necessary measures to publish, within the time-limits set out in Article 20, an inspection report containing information on all the matters referred to in Article 21.
