The Committee notes the observation of the General Union of Workers of Guinea, that the labour inspection service has abandoned essential supervisory activities, concentrating instead on the examination of individual labour disputes and the calculation of severance pay. This has led to acts of corruption by delinquent employers and the loss of inspectors' independence, including the inspectorate's political independence. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would give any reply it considers appropriate to this observation, particularly in the light of Articles 3 and 6 of the Convention regarding the functions, status and conditions of employment of labour inspectors. It hopes the Government will also deal with the matters raised in its previous observation, which read as follows:

Articles 16, 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes with regret that the Office has once again not received an annual report on the activities of the inspection services. The Committee recalls the importance of annual inspection reports as an essential means of obtaining evidence of the activities of the inspection services, and showing whether workplaces are being inspected as often and as thoroughly as is necessary to ensure the effective application of relevant legal provisions. The Committee understands that the ILO has extended certain technical cooperation in this area and expresses its hope that the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that an annual report on the activities of the inspection service with all the necessary information provided therein will soon be provided.

The Committee has addressed a request for additional information directly to the Government.
