The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee has been commenting for a number of years on the absence of laws and regulations giving effect to the Convention. In its last report, the Government states that progress is being made in this respect and that a national workshop on the formulation of fishing policies was organized. The Government also indicates that copies of the new legislation and the texts defining the new policies will be communicated to the ILO as soon as they are adopted.

The Committee asks the Government to provide detailed information on the outcome of the national workshop on the formulation of fishing policies and on any concrete progress made in respect of the adoption of national laws implementing the Convention. The Committee understands that the Office remains ready to offer expert advice and respond favourably to any specific request for technical assistance in this regard. Finally, the Committee would appreciate receiving up to date information concerning the fishing industry, including statistics on the composition and capacity of the country’s fishing fleet, the approximate number of fishers gainfully employed in the sector, etc.

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