Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Hours of Work and Rest Periods (Road Transport) Convention, 1979 (No. 153) - Ecuador (Ratification: 1988)

The Committee notes the Government's report containing answers to its previous comments. It notes that the National Traffic and Land Transport Council suggested, after a first analysis of the legal and technical aspects of implementation of the Convention, that an inter-institutional committee be set up with a specific short-term mandate. The above-mentioned Council also recommended that the Government should seek ILO technical assistance.

The Committee hopes that the Government will shortly be able to establish the exact attributions of each sector of the administration in order to facilitate the application of the provisions of the Convention, and that it will thus be in a position to provide the information requested previously on the laws and regulations giving effect to the provisions of the Convention, and on its application in practice, as required by the report form.

The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1994.
