The Committee notes the Government’s report and the copy of the Public Service Orders 2011.

Article 5 of the Convention. Consultation between the public authorities and the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes that according to the Government’s report, the National Tripartite Employment and Labour Council has been replaced by the National Consultative Committee (NCC). However, the Regulations regarding this Committee were not attached to the report as indicated by the Government. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide the ILO with a copy of the regulations of the NCC as well as information on the activities of this body and their impact.

Article 7. Noting the Government’s indication that self-employed persons and members of cooperatives and worker-managed undertakings are covered by the labour administration system, the Committee requests the Government to give further indication of the nature of the services provided to these persons who are not, in law, employed persons.

Article 10. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the numbers, distribution, and status of the staff of the labour administration, as well as the terms and criteria for recruitment, and the determination of the financial resources allocated to the labour administration system. The Committee also notes the text of the Public Service Orders and refers the Government to the comments it makes in this regard under Articles 6, 7 and 15 of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81). The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would specify the proportion of the national budget allocated to the labour administration system.

The Committee also requests the Government once again to communicate, as required under Part IV of the Convention’s report form, extracts of any reports or other periodic information provided by the principal labour administration services referred to in Paragraph 20 of Recommendation No. 158 which supplements the Convention, together with information on any practical difficulties encountered in the application of the Convention.
