- 13. In communications of 3 and 9 March 2000, the Government indicates that: (1) the national Government democratically elected which has assumed its functions on 10 December 1999, has once again officially transmitted the conclusions and recommendations of the Committee in this case to the provincial governments involved, a large number of which have also been confirmed in their functions through democratic means. That being the case, it is hoped that this initiative by the new national authorities will lead to a better appreciation of the Committee's conclusions and recommendations, in the provinces where the facts occurred; (2) the police and judiciary authorities have launched an inquiry concerning the alleged attack and looting of the ATE premises in Comodoro Rovadavia, in July 1997; that inquiry is on hold, pending the discovery of new evidence; (3) it has been decided to put on hold, for lack of evidence, the inquiry into the assault on Mr. Jorge Villalba (ATE delegate), and to suspend the inquiry into the death threat made against Ms. Nélida Curto, a member of the administrative committee of ATE-Lanús.
- 14. The Committee takes note of this information. It hopes that the new Government will transmit in the near future all the information requested when this case was last examined in June 1999, so that the pending issues may be fully examined.
