Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 53. At its November 2004 meeting, the Committee stated that it was awaiting the outcome of the administrative inquiry into the allegations made by the trade union organization SINTRAVI regarding the enterprise AVINCO S.A. (concerning pressure put on workers to conclude a collective agreement outside the union and the consequent withdrawal of non-statutory services for unionized workers, and the pressure put on workers to leave the union), and also waiting to receive copies of documents confirming that the former trade union official, Héctor de Jesús Gómez, had received the compensation provided for under the terms of the collective agreement [see 335th Report, paras. 46-49].
2. 54. In its communication of 27 January 2005, the Government provides a copy of a communication sent to it by the company Cementos del Nare S.A. confirming that it has paid Héctor de Jesús Gómez the compensation required by the collective agreement, although he has refused it and consequently the compensation has been formally deposited with a court (the Government provides a copy of the relevant certificate).
3. 55. The Committee notes this information with interest. As regards the allegations made by SINTRAVI, the Committee regrets that the Government has not sent any information as to whether an administrative inquiry has actually been carried out. The Committee requests the Government to inform it without delay of any such inquiry and whether or not it has begun and, if not, to initiate one and keep it informed in this regard.
