Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Paid Vacations (Seafarers) Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 91) - Guinea-Bissau (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 10 of the Convention. Implementing legislation. The Committee notes the Government’s statement that a gap analysis of the national maritime legislation has already been completed with the assistance of the Office and that the MLC, 2006, is in the Popular National Assembly. The Committee recalls, in this regard, that the main provisions of this Convention have been incorporated into Regulation 2.4 and the corresponding Code of the MLC, 2006, and therefore ensuring compliance with the Convention would facilitate compliance with the corresponding requirements of the MLC, 2006. Recalling the Government’s indication in previous reports that the Convention was given only partial effect by the General Labour Act of 1986 as no specific law had been adopted on maritime labour, the Committee requests the Government to indicate any legislative amendments undertaken to fully implement the provisions of the Convention, and to transmit a copy of any new legal text which may not have been previously communicated to the Office. The Committee also requests the Government to provide information on any further developments regarding the process of ratification of the MLC, 2006.
