The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It however notes the information supplied by the Government in accordance with article 19 of the Constitution of the ILO. 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 on the following points:

Article 1, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Convention. The Committee notes that Decree No. 3005 of 1980 fixing minimum wages applies to all workers under the coverage of the Labour Code. Please indicate the situation as regards minimum wages for workers excluded from coverage by sections 7 and 8 of the Labour Code, in particular, domestic workers and workers in the agricultural sector.

Article 2, paragraph 2. Please indicate the number and categories of workers, if any, whose wages are fixed by collective agreements.

Article 4, paragraphs 2 and 3. The Committee notes that section 45 of the Labour Code provides for minimum wage-fixing by tripartite wage boards. Please indicate the measures taken to ensure consultation with and, where appropriate, participation of representative organisations of employers and workers, when minimum wages are fixed by decrees. In this connection, please specify the relation between the minimum wages and the index of high cost of living examined by the Commission established under Decree No. 4206 of 8 August 1981, to which the Government refers in its report submitted under article 19 of the Constitution.
