Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

The Committee notes with interest the information provided by the Government in its report, particularly with regard to the amendments to the legislation over recent years which bring it into closer conformity with the provisions of the Convention. However, it notes that the annual inspection reports, as envisaged and described in Articles 20 and 21, have not been transmitted to the ILO since 1992. The Committee hopes that the Government will rapidly take the necessary measures to ensure that the competent authority, within the terms of the Convention, prepares, publishes and transmits such reports to the Office in the near future.

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would provide information concerning women working in the labour inspection services and any special duties which are assigned to women inspectors, as suggested by Article 8 of the Convention.
