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:

Article 6(2)(a). The Committee has noted the Government's statement that, due to the scarcity of both human and financial resources, no measures have been taken on the national employment service following the report of the ILO expert. Nor were examples available of labour administration contributions to symposia, etc., or policy-making groups in the field of employment. The Committee has also noted that the 1983 annual report of the Ministry of Labour and Social Services (p. 2) indicated that "There was no visible improvement in the employment situation compared with the previous year. Unless there is an improvement in the country's economic situation, the employment situation is likely to remain poor". Please indicate any measures taken or envisaged with a view to the effective implementation of the provisions of the Convention regarding labour administration activities in the field of employment policy.

Article 7. The Committee has noted the Government's statement that the financial situation does not permit extension of the system of labour administration to such categories of workers as those described in clauses (a) to (d) of this Article of the Convention.

The Committee has also noted (p. 2 of 1983 annual report of the Ministry of Labour and Social Services) that in 1983 out of a labour force of 1,962,300 only 364,000 persons were estimated to be in wage-paid employment. Please indicate any developments in the extension of labour administration services to appropriate categories of workers who are not, in law, in wage-paid employment.
