to comply with paragraph 2(a) of article 13 of the Constitution where:
(a) the Member is alleged to have failed to pay the travelling and subsistence
expenses of one or more of the delegates that it has nominated in accordance
with article 3, paragraph 1, of the Constitution; or
(b) the complaint alleges a serious and manifest imbalance as between the
number of Employer or Worker advisers whose expenses have been covered in the
delegation concerned and the number of advisers appointed for the Government
delegates.
2. A complaint referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be receivable in the
following cases:
(a) if the complaint is not lodged with the Secretary-General of the
Conference before 10 a.m. on the seventh day following the opening of the
Conference and the Committee considers that there is insufficient time to deal
with it properly; or
(b) if the complaint is not lodged by an accredited delegate or adviser
alleging non-payment of travel and subsistence expenses in the circumstances
set out under (a) or (b) of paragraph 1 or by an organization or person acting
on his or her behalf.
3. The Credentials Committee shall, in its report, present to the Conference
any conclusions that it has unanimously reached on each complaint considered
by it.
4. When, in the light of the examination of a complaint, the Credentials
Committee unanimously considers that it is necessary to monitor the situation,
it may propose this to the Conference, which shall decide, without discussion,
on the proposal. If it is so decided, the Government concerned shall report on
such questions that the Credentials Committee judges necessary, to the
subsequent session of the Conference when it submits the delegation s
credentials.
