Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Greece (Ratification: 1981)

Referring to its previous observations, the Committee notes with interest the adoption of Presidential Decree No. 296, dated 4 July 1991, on the "Procedure for the Promotion of the Application of International Labour Standards". It notes the creation, within the Supreme Labour Council, of a special department set up as a tripartite consultation body explicitly endowed with the competence for examining the questions listed under Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

The Committee furthermore notes Decision No. 11127, dated 18 February 1992, of the Minister of Labour, respecting the setting up of this department, and the supplementary information provided by the Government, sent in March 1993, on the consultations which have taken place within the framework of the new procedures.

The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the functioning of these procedures, concerning specifically the consultations which have taken place on each of the questions in Article 5, paragraph 1, during the period covered by the next report. It would also be grateful if the Government would indicate whether it envisages producing an annual report on the functioning of the procedures, as provided for under Article 6 of the Convention.
