Public Service Advisory Council. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s indication that public service employees had not yet appointed their representatives on the Public Service Advisory Council (a joint bipartite advisory body established by Act No. 013/98/AN of 28 April 1998 concerning the legal regime applicable to posts and employees in the public service, the advisory functions of which are determined by Decree No. 98/375/PRES/PN/MFPDI/MEF of 15 September 1998 concerning the competencies, composition and operation of public service advisory bodies). The Committee notes that according to the Government’s report, Act No. 81 2015/CNT, of 24 November 2015, issuing the general regulations of the public service, repealed contravening provisions of Act No. 013/98/AN and provides (in section 78) for the establishment of a Public Service Advisory Council, the composition, organization and operation of which shall be determined by Decree (section 85). According to the Government, the implementing texts for Act No. 81 are still under preparation. The Committee requests the Government to transmit a copy of Act No. 81 of 24 November 2015 issuing the general regulations of the public service, and the relevant implementing texts, once they have been adopted. It trusts that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary measures to ensure, in the near future, the effective operation of the Public Service Advisory Council.
