The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its first report, which arrived too late to be examined at its last session. The Committee asks the Government to supply information on the following points.

Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee notes that, according to the Government's report, in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used in the collection, compilation and publication of the statistics required under the Convention, the representative organisations of employers and workers are consulted through the survey control mechanism. The Committee none the less asks the Government to indicate how these organisations are consulted when the sources of information for the compilation of statistics are administrative records, for example in the case of the statistics referred to in Articles 14 and 15 of the Convention.

Article 7. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether it plans to obtain separate information for the unremunerated homeworker category in its statistics of the economically active population.
