Statement of Sri Lanka delegation at the 94th (Maritime) session of the International Labour Conference delivered by Mr A R M Abeyratne Banda- 20 February 2006

Mr. Chairman,

The delegation of Sri Lanka extends sincere congratulations to you and the Bureau on your election and assures you of our full cooperation in the successful completion of the Conference.

Historically maritime issues have had a special consideration within ILO, as witnessed by the treatment of these issues at special Maritime sessions.  This session marks a significant step in ILO standard setting activities in this area by the proposed adoption of a single Comprehensive Convention, forward looking, addressing issues of contemporary concern in a practical manner facilitating future updating of technical standards.  ILO’s technical cooperation in the effective implementation of the Convention, if adopted, would be invaluable.
