The Committee notes 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:

The Committee notes that the Government’s report, which provides information on the content of the regulations adopted in accordance with European Union Directives, does not contain a reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will provide full particulars on the points raised in its previous direct request, which related to the role of the labour inspectorate in the implementation of these legal provisions in practice and read as follows:

The Committee notes the statistics provided by the Government for the period 2002–05 relating to the inspections carried out, the cases taken to court and the reportable injuries. The Committee notes however that there is no mention of the number of workplaces liable to inspection and the number of workers employed therein. It requests the Government to provide information in its next report on the progress achieved in securing enforcement of the legal provisions relating to conditions of work and protection of workers following recent EU Directives in the area of safety and health, in so far as labour inspection is concerned. The Committee further notes that no annual labour inspection report has been received. The Committee recalls the importance attached to the publication by the central inspection authority, and the transmission to the ILO of a report on the work of the inspection services under its control in pursuance of Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. It requests the Government to take the necessary measures to give effect to these important provisions of the Convention. The Government is also asked to provide the information requested by the report form for the Convention under each of its provisions, and Parts IV and V.
