(2) A collective agreement is concluded between a collective of workers and an organisation. It shall be concluded on behalf of the staff by the race (company) committee and by its manager on behalf of the organisation.
(3) Collective agreements may also be concluded by a general (branch) Directorate-General with higher trade unions.
(4) Where, for a plant (operation), due to the conditions of the workplace, scope or local separation of the plant (operation), different adaptations to certain commitments are necessary, such adjustment may be made in an annex to the collective agreement which forms an integral part of it.
(5) An organisation may conclude a separate collective agreement with a collective team of plant workers in which there is a need for different adjustments to the vast majority of commitments or where appropriate for other serious reasons. It shall be concluded on behalf of the staff by the race committee and on behalf of the organisation by its manager or by his authorised staff.

(15) The collective agreement shall become a binding signature for both Contracting Parties by representatives of both Contracting Parties. Before signing, the collective agreement shall be approved by the membership meeting or conference of delegates of the basic organisation (s) of the trade union, the collective agreement between the General Directorate (s) and the senior trade union body of that trade union body.
(16) The legal effectiveness of the obligations contained in the collective agreement shall begin on the first day of the period for which the collective agreement has been concluded, unless otherwise specified therein.
(17) Adjustments to collective agreements which are contrary to the law or the interests of the company are invalid.
(18) Entitlements arising from collective agreements between individual workers are applied and met as other employment rights.
(19) The collective agreement may agree on the consequences of non-compliance with the obligations of an organisation which does not give rise to individual workers, as well as the composition of the body which solves disputes arising from non-compliance with those obligations; This body is generally composed mainly of representatives of the authorities of the superior organisation and of the higher trade unions. In other cases, Article 23 (a) of the resolution IV of the All-Trade Union Convention on the Racing Committees of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement's Basic Organisations shall be followed, with changes and additions made by the resolution of the National Trade Union Conference in May 1965 (Annex to the Labour Code).
Registration of collective agreements

Control of the implementation of collective agreements
(21) The performance of a collective agreement shall be monitored by both Parties in the manner agreed in the collective agreement, at least once every six months. The trade union organisation shall check, through its asset, whether the conditions for fulfilling the collective agreement obligations are created. The evaluation of compliance with collective agreement commitments is part of the final annual evaluation and control of the organisation's results. The conclusions and findings of the audit are usually one of the basis for preparing a collective agreement for the next period.
