Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. (Establishment of advisory committees.) The Committee notes from the Government's reply to its earlier comments that Decision No. 795 of 1979 of the President of the Republic which established the Central Council for Manpower and Training was repealed by Decision No. 459 of 1982 of the President of the Republic and the above-mentioned Council is replaced by the establishment of the Central Council for Human Resources Development and Training. The Government indicates that this body is responsible for the elaboration of the national policy in the field of planning and development of human resources and gives a list of its specific functions. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would state clearly in its next report whether this body is also empowered to cooperate in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of the employment service policy. Please also describe the composition of this body.

As regards sections 76 and 79 of Act No. 137 of 1981, to which reference is made once again in the Government's report, the Committee asks the Government to indicate whether any measures have been adopted or envisaged with a view to establish in practice a Central Advisory Labour Council (section 76) and advisory employment committees at various geographical and sectoral levels (section 79), in order to give effect to the above-mentioned Articles of the Convention.
