At its 320th session in March 2014, the ILO Governing Body adopted a new follow-up mechanism on the MNE Declaration, comprised of promotional activities and an information gathering mechanism.
As part of the information gathering process, the Office will collect prior to each ILO Regional Meeting country-level experiences on harnessing opportunities and addressing challenges related to foreign direct investment (FDI) and activities of multinational enterprises as well as on the promotion of the principles of the MNE Declaration. This information gathering will be done through a short questionnaire addressed to governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations of the region.
The inputs received through the questionnaire will inform a report that then forms the basis for a discussion by the tripartite constituents during the Regional Meetings.
After four regional meetings a global report will be presented to the ILO Governing Body that will allow for the identification of lessons learned and good practices as well as for an assessment of the ILO member States’ needs and the effectiveness of promotional activities related to the MNE Declaration.
In preparation of the 10th European Regional Meeting (Istanbul, Turkey, 2-5 October 2017,), the International Labour Office is sending questionnaires directly and simultaneously to the Governments and Employers’ and Workers’ organizations of the ILO member States in the European region.
The indicated return date is Friday 17 March 2017:
