Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention, received in April 2012. The Government indicates that tripartite consultations are carried out within the National Tripartite Committee (NTC), which is composed of representatives of the Government and employers’ and workers’ organizations, as well as representatives of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Chamber of Commerce and the Hotel and Tourism Association. Consultations within the NTC are carried out in accordance with the guidelines set out in its terms of reference. The Government indicates that no consultations have been held to date in relation to the provisions set out in Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report detailed information on the procedures to ensure effective consultations within the National Tripartite Committee on the matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention (Article 2 of the Convention).

Replies to questionnaires, submissions to the House of Assembly and reports to be made to the ILO. The Committee notes that 22 Conventions are in force for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines including the eight fundamental and the four governance Conventions. The Committee further notes that the submission to the House of Assembly is pending with respect to 25 instruments adopted by the Conference between June 1995 and June 2012. The Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report information on tripartite consultations held on questionnaires concerning items on the agenda of the Conference (Article 5(1)(a)), on the submission to the House of Assembly of the instruments adopted by the Conference (Article 5(1)(b)) and on the preparation of reports on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)).

Operation of the consultative procedures. The Government indicates that no annual reports have been issued, nor have there been any consultations on this matter. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on consultations that may have taken place on Article 6 of the Convention (the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention), and the outcome of such consultations.
