Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - French Polynesia

The Committee notes the report of the Government for the period ending 30 June 1990 and the reply to its 1989 and 1991 direct requests. The Committee notes further that, according to the report of the Government, membership on the Economic, Social and Cultural Council of French Polynesia includes, among others, representatives of unions, bodies and associations which play a role in the social, economic and cultural life of French Polynesia. The report of the Government states that such representatives are supposed to be competent to address all of the points listed at article 5, with the exception of those relating to occupational safety and health which are treated by the technical consultative committee.

In this connection, the Committee gathers that the Convention is implemented through practice and, more specifically, through the Economic, Social and Cultural Council and the technical consultative committee. Nevertheless, the Committee once again feels it appropriate to note that the information supplied does not enable it to ascertain to what extent effect is given to all or part of the provisions of the Convention concerning the territory. It hopes that the Government will be able to include full particulars on the matter in its forthcoming report.
