Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Mozambique (Ratification: 1996)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention. It notes the information that consultations on the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention are carried out by means of written communications. It also notes Decree No. 7/1994 establishing the Labour Advisory Committee, which is competent for matters "related to the ILO’s standard-setting instruments" (section 2(1)(c) of the Decree). It asks the Government to describe how the written communication procedure ensures effective consultations within the meaning of Article 2 and to state which of the above matters, if any, are dealt with in the Labour Advisory Committee.

The Committee asks the Government to provide in its future reports more detailed information on the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, to state how often the consultations are held and to specify the nature of any resulting reports or recommendations.

Lastly, the Committee asks the Government to indicate whether, in accordance with the requirement of Article 6, the representative organizations have been consulted on the publication of an annual report on the working of the consultation procedures. If so, please indicate the outcome.
