The Committee notes the joint observations made by the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) and the Confederation of Portuguese Industry (CIP) on the application of the Convention, received on 1 September 2014.

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, due to the ratification by Portugal of the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), the IOE and CIP are favourable to the denunciation of Convention No. 45. In this regard, the Government indicates in its report that it intends to denounce the Convention during the next available period. Accordingly, the Committee would like to take this opportunity to inform the Government that, in conformity with Article 7, Convention No. 45 will next be open to denunciation during a one-year period from 30 May 2017 to 30 May 2018. The Committee invites the Government to provide information on any further developments in this respect.
