Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1998, Publicación: 87ª reunión CIT (1999)

Convenio sobre el servicio del empleo, 1948 (núm. 88) - Egipto (Ratificación : 1954)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government concerning the Central Council for Manpower and Training. It has also been informed of the establishment of the Manpower and Training Planning Commission (in 1992), and the High Committee for Labour and Production Incentives (in 1995). The Committee would be grateful if the Government would state whether these bodies are consulted on the organization and operation of the employment service and on employment service policy and, if not, indicate what arrangements exist, in practice, to ensure the cooperation of representatives of employers and workers in these matters, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee also notes in this connection that sections 76 (Central Advisory Labour Council) and 79 (local and sectoral advisory employment committees) of Act No. 137, 1981, are amended in the new draft Labour Code. It asks the Government to provide information on any developments in this respect. 2. The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will not fail to provide the statistical information referred to in Part IV and a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied referred to in Part VI of the report form adopted by the Governing Body.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
