Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee again requests the Government to report on the results of the measures it intended to take in order to extend the minimum wage system to rubber, forestry and chestnut workers.

Furthermore, the Committee recalls that section 61 of Supreme Decree No. 21060 prohibited increases in the remuneration of workers in public sector enterprises up to 31 December 1985. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any measures adopted since that date to establish a minimum wages system and on the resulting increases for workers in the public sector.

Article 2, paragraph 2. The Committee notes that section 62 of Supreme Decree No. 21060 guarantees the fixing of wages through collective bargaining. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the number and category of workers whose wages have been fixed by collective bargaining.

Article 5. The Committee recalls that in its previous comments, and in its comments on Convention No. 81, it pointed out that, according to the information supplied by the Government, the number of labour inspectors had been greatly reduced, and expressed the hope that it would be possible to increase their number so that they could carry out their duties more effectively. In this connection, the Committee takes note of the information concerning periodic training for labour inspectors; at the same time, the Committee reiterates the hope that the Government will report on the measures adopted or contemplated to extend and improve labour inspection activities for monitoring observance of the minimum wage system.
