Convention (n° 129) sur l'inspection du travail (agriculture), 1969 - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1972)

The Committee refers the Government to its observation and draws its attention to the following matters.

Articles 14, 21, 25, 26 and 27 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that a database has been set up under the MATAC-ILO project for the purpose of compiling and processing information and that the database should allow periodical reports, annual inspection reports and government reports to be drawn up. It also notes the information that the Ministry of Labour and Social Security has issued instructions for the coordination of activities undertaken by the Management Advisory Unit and the General Planning Department with a view to the preparation of reports on the results of inspection activities. The Committee hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to publish and forward to the Office within the time frame prescribed by Article 26, an annual report on the work of the labour inspection in agriculture, containing information on the subjects listed in Article 27.

Article 15, paragraph 2. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of Internal Circular O.M.-006-2000 referred to in its report.

Article 24. Noting that the Government plans to submit to the competent bodies for analysis a proposal for establishing regulatory arrangements to update the amount of the fines imposed for breaches of labour legislation, the Committee requests the Government to inform the Office of any developments in this respect.
