Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

Convenio sobre la colocación de la gente de mar, 1920 (núm. 9) - Camerún (Ratificación : 1970)

The Committee notes the Government's report, received in June 1999. In reply to the Committee's previous comments, the Government states that the harmonization of the legislation with Article 5 of the Convention is one of its constant concerns. It would appear that the maritime authority and the labour administration have met several times for this purpose. The Committee is therefore bound once again to ask the Government to take the necessary steps to set up committees consisting of an equal number of representatives of shipowners and seamen, as required by Article 5 of the Convention, to advise on matters concerning the operation of employment offices for seamen.

Article 10. The Government is also asked to supply any available information, statistical or otherwise, concerning unemployment among seamen and the work of seamen's employment agencies, particularly available data on the activities of the employment offices in Kribi, Limbé and Douala which are relevant to seamen.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2000.]
