The Committee takes note of the Government’s report after a period of seven consecutive years in which it failed to meet its obligation under article 22, following the transmission of a first report in 1998, i.e. several years after the ratification of this instrument. While noting the delay in this initiative, it welcomes the resumption of dialogue with the Government and requests it to supply further information on the following points.

Legislation. Noting that, despite repeated requests, the Government has still not supplied the legislative texts giving effect to the Convention, the Committee once again requests it to do so as soon as possible.

Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee reminds the Government of the obligation laid down by this Article to consult representative employers’ and workers’ organizations when designing the concepts, definitions and methodology for the collection, compilation and publication of the required statistics. The Committee requests the Government to take measures to give full effect to this provision and to indicate, for each Article of Part IV of the Convention in respect of which the Government has accepted the obligations, the way in which representative organizations of employers and workers have been consulted.

Article 7. While noting that this Article is applied, the Committee requests the Government once again to indicate whether it follows the ILO ISCO-88 classification and/or the ICSE-93 international classification. It reminds the Government of its obligation under Article 6 to communicate information to the Office on the methodology used.

Articles 9, 10 and 11. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether measures are contemplated for expanding the compilation of current statistics on hours of work by disaggregating them by sex (Articles 9 and 10). It would be grateful if the Government would communicate the most recent published statistics to the Office, and also information on the methodology used for the survey on wages (Article 9, paragraph 2).

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply a detailed description of the sources, concepts and methodology used for the compilation of statistics under Articles 10 and 11 and also the definition of the concept used with regard to “labour cost”.

Finally, the Committee encourages the Government to continue supplying the statistics referred to in Articles 9 and 11 as soon as available and practicable.

Article 16. The Committee strongly encourages the Government to continue supplying information to the Office concerning the statistics relating to the subjects covered by Articles 11 and 12, together with any available methodological information.

Article 13. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would send the Office the results of the household income and expenditure survey and also any available relevant methodological information.

Part V of the report form. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the representative organizations of employers and workers to which copies of the present report have been communicated in accordance with article 23, paragraph 2, of the ILO Constitution. If copies of the report have not been sent to such organizations, or if they have been sent to other organizations, the Government is requested to supply information on any particular circumstances existing in the country which explain the procedure followed.

Please also indicate whether employers’ or workers’ organizations have issued any observations, either of a general kind or in connection with the Government’s next report, regarding the practical application of the provisions of the Convention or the application of the legislation or other measures implementing the Convention. If so, please send a copy of the observations received, together with any comments that the Government considers useful.
