The Committee notes with regret that 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:

1. The Committee notes with interest the information to the effect that the new draft labour legislation in which the ILO participated (update, revision, codification) has been submitted to the competent legal authorities with a view to finalization and requests the Government to supply a copy of the new Labour Code once it has been adopted and promulgated.

2. While it is aware that there are limits imposed on the adoption of measures to apply the Convention when financial and human resources are scarce, the Committee notes that for several years the Government has not supplied any information on the application of the Convention in practice. Noting that, in most cases, the difficulties encountered by governments having ratified the Convention seem to be caused by lack of knowledge of the actual situation, due to scarcity of data and research, or to ignorance of the principles of job assessment (for more details, see paragraph 248 of the 1986 General Survey on equal remuneration), the Committee wishes to remind the Government that it may always resort to ILO advice and technical assistance to identify the nature and extent of the difficulties and to prepare measures to solve the problems, and to ensure application of the Convention in practice.
