Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - France (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee notes the information of a general nature supplied by the Government in its report for the period ending 30 June 1994 in reply to its previous direct request. It also notes in its report the indication that employers' and workers' organizations have made comments, which have been communicated to the ILO, on a number of the Government's draft replies and reports on the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (d), of the Convention.

The Committee notes the indications regarding the new composition of the Committee for the ILO and the agenda for its meeting on 27 May 1994 as well as the CFDT comment expressing the wish that the Tripartite Commission for the ILO would meet in future at least once a year which is the minimum frequency provided for in paragraph 2 of the aforementioned Article. The Committee wishes, however, to draw the Government's attention to the information required under Article 5 on the report form. In this respect, it would be grateful if the Government would supply for the period covered by its next report complete, full and detailed information on the specific subject of consultations held on each of the matters set forth in Article 5 of the Convention, on the frequency of consultations and on the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting from these consultations, including any concerning the overseas departments and territories (DOM-TOM). Finally, the Committee invites the Government to provide it in accordance with Article 6 a copy of any report it has decided to produce on the working of the consultation procedures, in line with the intention stated in one of its previous reports.
