Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Spain (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending June 1998. It notes that the principal change that has occurred in the application of the Convention during that period concerns the authorization of non-profit making employment agencies by virtue of Decree No. 735/95. The Committee notes that the authorization of these agencies is subject to the conclusion of a collaboration agreement with the National Employment Institute (INEM) and that these agencies must contribute to the implementation of integrated employment service plans. It would be grateful if the Government would continue providing detailed information on the measures which are adopted, in accordance with Article 11 of the Convention, to secure effective cooperation between the public employment service and these agencies. Please also provide detailed statistical information on the nature and volume of the activities of the INEM and non-profit making employment agencies respectively (Part IV of the report form).
