The Committee notes the Government's last report on the application of the Convention. It notes with satisfaction the adoption of Act No. 7679 of 17 July 1997 repealing section 146 of the Labour Code. It also notes the Government's statement that it wishes to take the necessary measures to bring the national legislation into conformity with the provisions of Articles 2(b) and 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee is aware that the Ministry of Labour and Social Security applied to the Office in 1998 for technical assistance, and trusts that the Government will be in a position to provide detailed information on progress made in this respect in its next report.
