Contribution of the public employment service to the promotion of employment. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in August 2008 and September 2009 concerning the operation of the National Employment Service. The Government has indicated that the 32 offices which comprise the National Employment Service registered 92,503 persons in 2007 and 75,031 in 2008. As part of the National Mass Employment Plan, a technological platform has been established to facilitate users’ access to the national employment system. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information such as that requested in Part IV of the report form to show the manner in which the public employment service contributes to the best possible organization of the labour market and satisfies the new requirements of the economy and the active population.

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. Cooperation with the social partners. With reference to the comments which the Committee has been making for many years, the Government indicates that agreements have been reached between the Government and the employers’ sector with the aim, for example, of joining forces to generate jobs, revive businesses and establish social production companies and joint ventures. The Committee notes that the Government considers that progress is being made through these agreements towards the establishment of advisory committees at the national, regional and local levels, as set out in Articles 4 and 5. The Committee once again recalls the recommendations made by a tripartite committee in 1993 and requests the Government to indicate in its next report the number of advisory committees established at the national and regional levels and the procedure which has been adopted for the appointment of the representatives of employers and workers. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which the collaboration of employers and workers has been secured in the organization and operation of the employment service, as well as in the development of the policy of that service. The Committee recalls that no distinction whatsoever should be made between employers’ and workers’ organizations with regard to their collaboration in the organization and operation of the employment service.
