Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Seychelles (Ratification: 2005)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s first report on the application of the Convention, received in September 2010. The Government indicates that, in order to enforce Convention No. 144, a National Tripartite Employment and Labour Council (NTELC) was formed in 2005, which became the National Consultative Committee on Employment (NCCE) in 2009. The NCCE is composed of representatives of the Government and of employers’ and workers’ organizations as well as representatives of the Seychelles Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI). Section 4 of the NCCE Regulations of 2010 lays down the consultative functions of the NCCE as regards international labour standards. The Government states that, because over the last four years the NCCE was committed to attend to other economic and social issues (such as the discussion of the Macro Economic Reform Programme), it undertakes to give more effect to the provisions of Convention No. 144 in the next review period. The Committee asks the Government to provide in its next report detailed information on the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention, indicating the frequency of such consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations. It further invites the Government to provide information on the involvement of the NCCE in the matters related to international labour standards covered by the Convention.
