The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report and, in particular, the adoption of the Organic Labour Act of 1990, and the Regulations of 1992 respecting labour on board vessels sailing at sea, in rivers and lakes, which was issued under the Organic Labour Act. The Committee notes that, despite the repeated comments that it has been making for a number of years, the above legislation does not contain provisions which give full effect to Articles 8, 9, paragraph 1, Article 13, paragraph 1, and Article 14, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures to bring its legislation into conformity with the above provisions of the Convention and that, in this respect, it will take into account the comments which are being made in a direct request.
