The Committee notes the Government’s brief reports for the period ending June 1999. It would be grateful if the Government would provide additional information on the following points.

Noting from the 1994 report that, in view of the uncompetitive remuneration in the public service, it suffers from a critical lack of personnel and means of transport to carry out field missions, the Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the current composition of the personnel of the public labour administration and on any developments in this situation with regard to the conditions of service and material and financial resources made available to the personnel for the discharge of their functions.

Noting also in the above report that draft legislation on occupational safety and health was being prepared in the context of an ILO technical assistance programme, the Committee notes that the Government does not provide any information in its latest report on this matter and requests it to report on the action taken as a result of the project.

Please also provide copies of the texts governing the structure and operation of the principal bodies competent in the fields of the preparation, administration and review of the national labour administration policy, and extracts from the periodic reports and other information submitted by these bodies.
