| Statement by
President, Mr. Alsalim |
Our agenda
this year further contains other fun- damental subjects such as youth
employment, occupational safety and health and work in the fishing
sector. All these subjects will require,from your part, an active
commitment because they are vital for the forthcoming generations.
|
| Report of the Secretary General, Mr.
Somavia | We are also seeing our agenda
connecting to people through the work of this Conference: developing an
integrated framework for occupational safety and health standards;
finalizing new and comprehensive standards for the world’s fishing
industry; reviewing the impact of our standards on hours of work;
engaging in the regular business of supervising application by Members
of Conventions and Recommendations from Belarus to Nepal and, obviously
Myanmar; ensuring that the 'Millennium generation' of young women and
men find a pathway to decent work, to ensure that we do not have yet
another lost generation. |
| Statement by Mr.
BERZOINI (Minister of Labour and Employment,
Brazil) |
We are trying
to overcome the tragedy which occurred between 1992 and 2002, We hope
that by the end of this Conference, we shall have two new Conventions
and two new Recommendations, concerning the fishing sector and safety
and health at work. The Brazilian Government supports the adoption of
these instruments with the aim of improving working conditions for
workers and increasing the transparency in competition between
employers. |
| Mr. MENDOZA
(Worker, Philippines)
| Addressing the concerns of
workers in the fishing sector is equally important. The world over,
fisher folks are subjected to harsh work conditions; de- spite advances
in technology, they face life- threatening conditions every day.
