The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report indicating that the Manpower Employment Organization (OAED) network currently comprises 119 Employment Promotion Centres (KPA2) currently in operation.

The Committee refers to its 2014 observation on the application of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and requests the Government to provide information on the activities carried out by the OAED and KPA2 and the manner in which, pursuant to Article 1(2) of the Convention, it ensures the best possible organization of the employment market as an integral part of the national programme for the achievement and maintenance of full employment and the development and use of productive resources. It also requests the Government to continue to provide information on the number of public employment offices established by the OAED, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by the offices.

The Government indicates that, in the context of the OAED’s cooperation with private employment agencies in the country, the OAED’s central portal as well as the services provided by the European Job Mobility Portal (EURES) are available to facilitate the work of private employment agencies, through the obtaining of information and the placement of jobseekers. The Committee requests the Government to provide examples of the impact of the measures taken to secure effective cooperation between the public employment service and private employment agencies.
