Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Malta (Ratification: 1988)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as fallows:

Part III of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes the Government's statement in the report that the provisions of Part V of the Employment and Training Services Act, 1990 have not been implemented and there is no intention to implement this part of the Act in the near future. The Committee has previously noted from the Government's earlier reports that the provisions of the Employment Service Act, 1955, prohibiting private employment agencies, continued to operate and presumes that it is still the current position. The Committee hopes that the Government will keep the ILO informed about any development on these matters. It notes the statement that the views of this Committee will be taken into consideration if the relevant provisions of the 1990 Act are implemented. If it happens, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information, when appropriate, on the manner in which effect is given in particular to the provisions of Article 10(c) and (d), and Article 11(b) and (c), of the Convention.
