| The Belgian federal authorities, more specifically the Customs and Excise Administration and the General Finance Administration Service, apply national legislation on trade union leave and dispensations from service, to the detriment of the complainant organization and its officials, and, on that basis, refuse to allow any request for leave and dispensations from service and threaten to put them in a “position of non-activity”; by acting thus, the Belgian federal authorities are interfering in the exercise of the right of the complainant organization to freely organize its management and activities, suspending its activities by administrative means and discriminating against recognized and non-representative public employees’ unions, in violation of Convention No. 87 |
