The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report. It would be grateful to be provided with further information on the following points.

Article 3 of the Convention. Issuing a medical certificate. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that there is no predefined medical certificate for the examinations carried out in hospitals and health centres and that it is therefore impossible to provide a sample of the medical certificates issued to fishers. The Committee also notes that, with a view to bringing the legislation into conformity with the requirements set out in Article 3 of the Convention, the Government has requested the Social Security Fund to develop a model medical certificate for fishers. While recalling that, under this Article of the Convention, the Government is under the obligation to consult the fishing-boat owners’ and fishers’ organizations concerned with a view to prescribing the nature of the medical examination to be made, and the particulars to be included in the medical certificate, the Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any development in this field and to provide the above model when it has been finalized.

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the Government still does not have available statistical data on the number and nature of infringements reported in relation to issuing medical certificates for fishers. While noting the information on the programme for the computerization of the inspection services, which is being formulated, and the reorganization of the labour inspectorate envisaged by Decree No. 28578-MTSS of 3 February 2000, the Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to compile and communicate in its next report concrete data on the application of the Convention in practice including, for instance, the number of medical examinations carried out and medical certificates issued each year, the number of inspections conducted and the results achieved by the inspection services.
