Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Employment Service Convention, 1948 (No. 88) - Greece (Ratification: 1955)

1. The Committee notes the detailed information contained in the Government's report. Further to the Committee's comments under Article 10 of the Convention, the Government states that under Law No. 2434, 1996, local administrations, chambers of industry and of artisans, and unions and employers' organizations have the right to conclude agreements, after consulting with the employment service (OAED), for the operation of employment information offices. The Committee would appreciate receiving in the Government's next report details on the impact of this law on the functioning of the OAED.

2. The Committee also requests the Government to continue transmitting statistics on placements and other general information on the application of the Convention. In particular, it would be grateful if the Government would explain further how the OAED collects and analyses, in cooperation where appropriate with other authorities and with management and trade unions, the fullest available information on the situation of the employment market and its probable evolution, in accordance with Article 6(c) of the Convention.
