The Committee notes the Government's indications in its report that a new text respecting the conditions of service of employees in the public service has been approved which provides in section L51.2 for the termination of the employment relationship by agreement between the person concerned and the administration, through indemnification.

The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the text of Decree No. 12-A-94 of 28 February respecting the conditions of service of employees in the public service.

2. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to supply copies of the texts that are in force relating to the prison system.

The Committee noted the Government's indications that the prison system is organized on the basis of political orientations formulated by the Government and that the Ministry of Justice is working on the formulation of a system of prison labour that is in conformity with the Convention.
