Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Estonie (Ratification: 1994)

1. The Committee notes the Government's second report on application of the Convention. It also notes the communication sent to the ILO on November 1997 in response to its previous direct request.

2. The Government indicates in its report that the Estonian ILO Council has held consultations on the possibility of ratifying the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176). In addition, the Council may shortly examine the possibility of ratifying ILO Conventions Nos. 177, 178 and 179. The Committee notes this information with interest; nevertheless, it would be grateful if the Government would supply with its next report more detailed information on the consultations held on the other matters covered in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, as well as on their frequency.

3. Finally, with reference to the Government's reply under Article 6 of the Convention, the Committee requests the Government to supply the annual report, if any, produced by the Estonian ILO Council.
