Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - New Caledonia

1. Article 6, paragraph 3, and Articles 14 and 21 of the Convention. This question is dealt with under Article 3, paragraph (3), and Articles 10 and 16 of Convention No. 81, as follows:

Article 3, paragraph 2, and Articles 10 and 16 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's report does not provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied. The Committee recalls that the number of inspectors should be sufficient for the effective discharge of their duties so that workplaces are inspected as often and as thoroughly as is necessary (Articles 10 and 16). Please provide full particulars in this regard and include information on any additional duties entrusted to inspectors and whether such further duties interfere in any way with the effective discharge of their primary duties (Article 3, paragraph 2).

2. Articles 26 and 27. This question is dealt with under Articles 20 and 21 of Convention No. 81, as follows:

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that since 1979 no labour inspection report for New Caledonia has been received. The Committee wishes to underline the importance it attaches to the preparation of these reports containing information on all the subjects enumerated in Article 21 and to their publication and communication within the time-limits set by Article 20 of the Convention, to enable it to determine whether the Convention is fully applied by the Government. Please provide full details.
