Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Maximum Weight Convention, 1967 (No. 127) - Tunisia (Ratification: 1970)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report to the effect that a draft Order amending the Order of 5 May 1988 determining the maximum weight that may be transported by a single worker is the subject of consultation with the technical services concerned, and with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Government adds that this draft text takes into account the observations made by this Committee and that a copy of the Order will be communicated to the ILO as soon as it is published in the Official Journal. In view of the time that has elapsed, the Committee trusts that the draft Order referred to above will be adopted in the very near future to give full effect to the provisions of Articles 3 and 7 of the Convention, on which the Committee has been commenting for several years.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2007.]
