Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government concerning the application of the Convention.

With reference to Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, the Committee notes that the Government has not held consultations since 1988 on the re-examination of unratified Conventions (point c), and on proposals for denunciation (point e), since consultations on these two points were on the agenda of the Advisory Committee for the ILO, which has not met since that year. The Committee also notes the comments made by the French Democratic Confederation of Labour (CFDT) and the General Confederation of Labour/"Force ouvrière" (CGT/FO), which deal with the same questions and support a reconvening of the Advisory Committee for the ILO.

The Committee hopes that it will be possible for the Advisory Committee, as the Government states in its report, to meet "in the near future" and that it will hold the necessary consultations on the above points. It requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any development in this respect.
