Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2005, publiée 95ème session CIT (2006)

Convention (n° 147) sur la marine marchande (normes minima), 1976 - Terres australes et antarctiques françaises

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report that foreign seafarers enjoy employment conditions essentially comparable to those of French or assimilated seafarers. It notes however that the inspection of employment conditions, which is the responsibility of the Maritime Affairs Service for the French Southern and Antarctic Territories, the head of which is in charge of labour inspection of vessels registered in this territory, has not been completed. It requests the Government to take all measures necessary to ensure the application of the relevant provisions concerning both vessels listed in the French Southern and Antarctic Territories’ register and in its possible successor and vessels registered in metropolitan France.
