Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

Convention (n° 94) sur les clauses de travail (contrats publics), 1949 - Danemark (Ratification: 1955)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which reads as follows:

The Committee notes with interest the information on the practical application of the Convention by the counties (Article 1(2) of the Convention).

The Committee notes the Government’s statement that, in certain cases where only Danish contractors have submitted tenders after publication in the Official Journal, some counties have not inserted labour clauses in the public contract. The Committee recalls that the possible exemption from the application of this Convention is limited to contracts involving the expenditure of public funds of an amount not exceeding a limit fixed by the competent authority after consultation with the organizations of employers and workers concerned (Article 1(4)), and that the nationality of tenderers should not be a basis for the exclusion from the scope of this Convention. The Committee would be grateful to the Government for stating whether the cases mentioned above relate to the exemption under Article 1(4) and, if not, whether it intends to take measures to extend the application of the Convention in such cases.
