Convention (n° 96) sur les bureaux de placement payants (révisée), 1949 - Mauritanie (Ratification: 1964)

1. Part II of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s statement on the adoption of Act 2004/017 of 6 July 2004 issuing the Labour Code. It notes in particular section 387(2) of the 2004 Labour Code which provides that the State may create, in cooperation with the social partners, an agency or any other institution to be responsible for promoting access to employment and placement and that the State may permit, by order, the opening of private employment agencies authorized under an occupational statute to be regulated and defined by a decree. The Committee reminds the Government that it has accepted Part II of the Convention, which provides for the progressive abolition of fee-charging employment agencies and the regulation of other employment agencies. It invites the Government to provide information on the application of section 387(2) of the Labour Code of 2004 as it concerns Part II of the Convention.

2. The Committee further reminds the Government that the ILO Governing Body invites the States parties to Convention No. 96 to contemplate ratifying, as appropriate, the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181); the ratification of which will, ipso jure, involve the immediate denunciation of Convention No. 96 (document GB.273/LILS/4(Rev.1), 273rd Session, Geneva, November 1998). The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any developments which might occur in this regard in consultation with the social partners.
