The Committee notes with regret that, for the fifth year in succession, the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the declaration in the Government's report that its previous comments would be brought to the attention of the Agricultural Negotiating Trade Group Council so that they might be taken into consideration in the next round of negotiations over terms and conditions of employment. In its previous comments, the Committee referred to section 12(a) of Government Notice No. 888 of 5 December 1980, which permits the deferral of annual leave for a period of up to two years or for longer with the employee's and the union's consent. It recalls that Article 1 of the Convention provides that workers covered by the Convention should be granted an annual holiday with pay and that, under Article 8, any agreement to relinquish the right to annual holiday with pay, or to forgo such a holiday, must be void. The Committee hopes that the necessary measures will be taken in the very near future to bring section 12(a) of Government Notice No. 888 into conformity with the Convention and requests the Government to indicate the progress made in this regard in its next report.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
