Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

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

The Committee has noted the information supplied by the Government in its first report on the application of the Convention. It notes that Part V of the Employment and Training Services Act, 1990, dealing with "Employment Agencies", has not yet come into effect and that so far the provisions of section 17 of the Employment Service Act, 1955, which prohibit private employment agencies, are still effective. It requests the Government to keep the ILO informed on the measures taken to put the relevant provisions of the 1990 Act into force and to supply information, when appropriate, on the following points:

Article 10, subparagraph (c), and Article 11, subparagraph (b), of the Convention. Please indicate in what way fee-charging employment agencies derive pecuniary or other material advantage from employers and whether such agencies shall only charge fees and expenses on a scale submitted to and approved by the competent authority or fixed by the said authority.

Article 10, subparagraph (d), and Article 11, subparagraph (c). Please state what conditions, if any, have been determined for the recruiting of workers abroad, in conformity with these provisions of the Convention.
