The Committee takes note of the Government’s report and the legislation attached thereto.

Inspection of labour and child labour. The Committee notes that, in accordance with the commitment entered into on ratifying the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182), the Government considers supervision of the application of laws and regulations concerning child labour to be a priority of the labour inspectorate, and that a campaign for the elimination of child labour has been scheduled for the period from 2001 to 2004. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the running of the campaign and the results already recorded.

The Government is also asked to take the necessary steps, as it undertook to do in its report, to ensure that relevant information is regularly included in future annual inspection reports.

Organization and functioning of the labour inspectorate. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of the official text of Government Order No. 767/1999, referred to in its report, and of any other texts concerning the organization and operation of the labour inspection services.

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the content of the Phare Consensus III Programme to strengthen the institutional capacity of the labour inspectorate scheduled for completion by the end of 2000, and on the results attained through its implementation, particularly in terms of training labour inspectors on recruitment and in the course of their employment.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide detailed information on the purposes and operation of the National Centre for Training and Education on Occupational Health and Safety, the creation of which was announced in the Government’s last report. Please indicate who and for how many people such training is intended.

Articles 10, 16 and 21(c). The Committee notes that, in the Government’s view, the strength of the labour inspectorate (1,234) is insufficient to ensure the effective performance of the duties of the inspection services. It also notes that the frequency and nature of inspection visits are determined by a set of precise criteria. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate the number of establishments subject to inspection and the number of persons involved, such data being essential for the Committee to assess properly the extent to which the Convention is applied.

Article 11. The Committee notes the information to the effect that labour inspectors have good working conditions and that investments are to be made to improve them. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on developments in the material resources made available to the inspection services together with a copy of Government Order No. 543/1995, in its most recent version, under which labour inspectors are fully reimbursed for their travel costs and duty-incurred expenditure.

Article 18. The Committee points out that, to be effective, monetary penalties for breach of the laws and regulations which labour inspectors are responsible for supervising, and for acts of obstruction to the performance of their duties must be sufficiently dissuasive regardless of monetary inflation, and would be grateful if the Government would indicate the measures taken to ensure that they remain so.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would take the necessary steps to ensure that the annual report prepared by the central labour inspection authority under section 15 of Act No. 108 of 1999 is sent regularly to the ILO.
