Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Mauritania (Ratification: 1963)

For a number of years, the Committee has been requesting the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure the application of the Convention, as Decree No. 75.147 of 6 May 1975 and Decree No. 80.182 on 23 July 1980 are not sufficient to ensure that full effect is given to the Convention which requires that clauses be included ensuring to the workers concerned wages (including allowances), hours of work and other conditions of labour which are not less favourable than those established for work of the same character in the trade or industry concerned in the district where the work is carried on. The Committee recalls that, under the corresponding provisions of the above Decrees, the labour clauses to be included in public contracts should be determined by ministerial or inter-ministerial order. The Committee also recalls that in previous reports, the Government has referred to certain draft decrees and resolutions which would enable the national legislation to be brought into full conformity with this Convention.

Since the Government has not submitted a report for the third consecutive year, the Committee does not have the necessary information on the progress made with regard to the above text. It therefore hopes that the Government will submit full information on the measures adopted in this respect. [The Government is asked to supply full particulars to the Conference at its 77th Session.]
