Vasyl Khara, Chairman of the Committee, reminded that this issue was discussed last time on 18 November 2009 and the Committee defined the work of the Committee unsatisfactory. In particular, it was declared that in connection with the European Charter (revised) the following issues rise: importance of effective preparation of reports on the charter implementation in Ukraine; further improvement of the legislative system regarding the Charter articles and principles .
The Committee Chairman emphasized that the measures taken by the Government did not provide the rate of the state social guarantees at the level envisaged by the Law "On State Social Standards and State Social Guarantees." Average salaries in Ukraine are the lowest among the neighbouring countries of Ukraine.
During the discussion, the members of the Committee drew attention to the fact of unsatisfactory implementation of Paragraph 4 of Clause 2 of the European Social Charter (revised) by the Government.
It was declared that the Bills No.173 "On the Protection of the Workers in Case of the Employer Insolvency" (part three); No.88 "On Organization of the Employment Service", and No.181 "On
Private Employment Agencies" had not been forwarded for the parliamentary scrutiny.
The Committee recognized the work of the Government regarding implementation of the Parliamentary recommendations as unsatisfactory.
The Committee members recommend that the Cabinet of Ministers promulgates the first and the second national reports of the Government of Ukraine regarding scrutiny of the conclusions of the European Committee on Social Rights regarding implementation of the European Social Charter (revised) in Ukraine.
It is recommended that the Government adjusts the Additional Protocol to the European Social Charter (revised) that envisages the system of the collective appeal to the conditions of Ukraine.
In the result of the discussion, the Committee resolved to hear the report of the Cabinet of Minister on execution in Ukraine of European Social Charter (revised) in March 2011.
