The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:
Repetition
In its observation of 2005 the Committee noted the Government’s repeated statement that it planned to update existing standards on safety and health in dock work; that the Handbook of Standards on Safety and Risk Prevention for Dockworkers was being revised; and that the Committee’s more specific comments had been forwarded to the Directorate-General of the Merchant Navy and that the Government was awaiting information. Moreover, further to the many comments made since 1993, the Committee urged the Government to take all the necessary steps to bring its national law and practice into line with the Convention. The Committee also requested information on the application of the Convention in practice. In its latest report the Government repeats that the National Council for the Merchant Navy and Docks will deal with the relevant subjects in order to bring the national legislation into line with the Convention. The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report does not provide any information on the steps taken to bring its law and practice into line with the Convention; on the process of revision of the abovementioned handbook; on the various matters raised by the Committee for many years; or on the practical application of the Convention as requested by the Committee. The Committee also recalls that in its last observation it indicated to the Government that it had the possibility of availing itself of technical assistance from the Office in order to bring its legislation into line with the Convention and notes the Government’s statement in this regard that such a possibility was communicated to the competent authorities and that it would forward any available information in this respect to the Committee. The Committee again urges the Government to take all the necessary steps to bring its law and practice into line with the Convention, including the revision of the abovementioned Handbook, and to provide detailed information in this respect. The Committee also urges the Government to supply detailed information on the manner in which it currently ensures the application of the provisions of the Convention to which it has been referring since 1993, which are set out in detail in its direct request of 2005 and which cover matters referred to in the following articles of the Convention: Article 1; Article 4(1)(f) and (2)(d) in conjunction with Article 16(2) and Article 4(2)(g); Article 5(1); Article 7(1); Article 8; Article 9(2); Article 10; Article 11; Article 13(2) and (4); Article 17(2); Article 18(1), (4 )and (5); Article 19(2); Article 20(1), (2) and (4); Article 22(2) and (3); Article 25(1), (2) and (3); Article 26; Article 27(2) and (3)(b) and (c); Articles 28, 29 and 31; Article 32(2) and (4); Article 34(3); Article 36(1) and (3); and Article 38(1) and (2).
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
