Article 6 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information regarding the status and conditions of service of the contractual labour inspectors recruited to supplement regular labour inspectors. The Committee wishes to recall paragraphs 136 to 148 of its 1985 General Survey on Labour Inspection and underline the link between, on the one hand, the conditions of service of inspectors such as their period of appointment and career prospects, and their stability of employment and, on the other, their independence and ability to point out, without fear of any kind of reprisal, practices in undertakings that are contrary to the legal provisions. Please describe existing or planned arrangements that would ensure the stability of employment and independence of contractual labour inspectors as required by this provision of the Convention.

Articles 10, 11 and 16. The Committee notes the information provided in reply to its previous comments regarding the staffing levels in the inspection service and the filling of vacant posts. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on progress in this respect. The Committee notes however that the Government's report does not contain replies to its previous comments regarding the need to provide the inspection service with the material means to carry out their functions effectively and ensure that workplaces are visited with the necessary frequency and thoroughness required by the Convention. It hopes it will be possible to give the necessary priority to these matters when budgetary decisions are taken and trusts the Government will provide full details in its next report.

Article 12, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (c)(i) and (iv). Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that measures to establish means and procedures for the exercise of the powers of labour inspectors provided for by the last paragraph of section 110 of the Labour Code and referred to by the Government in its 1985 report have not been taken or planned. The Committee draws the Government's attention to the need to provide for such means and procedures, taking into account paragraphs 156 to 178 of the 1985 General Survey on Labour Inspection. Please provide full details of steps taken or proposed.

Articles 20 and 21. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the annual report of the Ministry of Labour covering the activities of the inspection services has not reached the Office. It also notes the information that statistics on occupational diseases are unavailable. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of the said annual report and hopes that it will be possible for future reports to be published and transmitted within the time-limits set in Article 20 and that they will contain all the information listed in Article 21 including points (c) and (g).
