The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. 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, which read as follows:

Article 3, paragraph 1(b) and (c) and paragraph 2 of the Convention. Please provide all informaton on the measures taken and on existing provisions to give effect to these paragraphs of this Article.

Article 6. Please indicate the provisions ensuring that inspection staff have stability of employment and are independent of improper external influences.

Articles 10 and 16. The Committee notes that, according to the Government's report, the number of labour inspectors (five) is insufficient to ensure regular inspection of workplaces. Please indicate the measures taken or contemplated to increase the staff so that the inspection service can perform its duties effectively.

Article 11. Please indicate the measures taken or contemplated to improve the working conditions of labour inspectors, and existing provisions to ensure the reimbursement of travelling expenses to inspectors.

Article 19. Please indicate whether labour inspectors are required to submit to the central inspection authority periodic reports of a general nature on the results of their activities and, where applicable, to supply full particulars on the frequency and content of such reports.

Article 21. The Committee notes that the 1986 annual report on the work of the labour inspection service contains no statistics on the workplaces inspected and the number of workers employed in these establishments, on violations committed and sanctions imposed, or on occupational diseases (points (c), (e) and (g)). It hopes that future annual reports will contain all the information called for by this Article of the Convention.

Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to transmit with its next report the regulations concerning compensation for occupational accidents and diseases the provisions of which, according to the Government's report, give effect to Article 14.
