The Committee has noted the Government's brief report and the information which it provides in response to the previous direct request. The Committee would like once again to emphasize to the Government the need to provide information on the effect given to each provision of the Convention, in accordance with what is asked for in the report form prepared for this purpose by the Governing Body. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to provide, in its next report, additional information on the following points:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Government indicates that the work of the Tripartite Committee for Cooperation is conducted according to customary rules and that the decisions resulting from the consultations undertaken are adopted by consensus or by a vote. The Committee requests the Government to describe the procedures in question and to specify how they guarantee effective consultations, as provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article.

Article 5. The Committee has noted the information on the meetings of the above Committee during the period covered by the report. It notes that the meetings have focused on the issues appearing on the agenda of the International Labour Conference and on the participation of the Polish delegation in sessions of the Conference. The Committee hopes that in future the work of the above Committee might focus on the other issues laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article and in section 5 of Ordinance No. 1 of 6 January 1990.

Article 6. According to this provision, the Government is obliged to hold consultations on the need to produce an annual report on the working of the procedures provided for by the Convention.
