Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - China - Macau Special Administrative Region (Ratification: 1999)

Articles 5, paragraph 1, and 6 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultation required by the Convention. The Committee notes Government’s reply to its 2005 direct request received in August 2007. The Government reports that the Standing Committee for the Coordination of Social Affairs (SCCSA) continued to play its consultative role by examining labour-related problems, proposing policies and measures and commenting and suggesting on labour‑related laws and regulations that are undergoing revisions. The Government nevertheless states that during the period covered by the report, the SCCSA had not carried out any discussion or consultation on Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Consequently, no annual report was prepared on the consultative procedures. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the consultations held during the period covered by the Government’s next report on international labour standards indicating the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of those consultations. The Committee reiterates its interest in information regarding the consultation that may have taken place on Article 6 of the Convention (the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention).
