Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

Convenio sobre las horas de trabajo y el descanso (transporte por carretera), 1939 (núm. 67) - Perú (Ratificación : 1962)

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its last report.

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that, after consultation with concerned circles, the Ministry of Transport and Communications has recommended that the Hours of Work and Rest Periods (Road Transport) Convention, 1979 (No. 153), should not be ratified as it is considered to be more rigid than the present Convention and would be more difficult to implement. It notes that the Ministry of Transport and Communications has also recommended that a technical committee should be established, to be composed of representatives of the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the Ministry of Labour and the main transport companies, which would be responsible for preparing new draft regulations on hours of work and rest periods in road transport, taking account of the provisions of the Convention. The Committee observes that in its previous reports, the Government has mentioned on several occasions that such a committee was to be set up, but no notable progress has been made in this area for many years.

The Committee trusts that it will be possible for these regulations to be drawn up and adopted rapidly and that they will give effect, inter alia, to Articles 7, paragraph 2, 11, 13, paragraph 2, 14, 15, 16, paragraph 1, and 18, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Convention. It requests the Government to inform the International Labour Office of any developments in this respect.
