The Committee refers to its previous comments and requests the Government to provide further information in its next report on the following points:

1. Please describe overall and sectoral development policies, and in particular measures that have been taken in such fields as investment policy; fiscal and monetary policies; trade policy; and prices, incomes and wages policies in relation to employment policy (Article 1 of the Convention).

2. Please describe the procedures adopted to ensure that, at both the planning and the implementation stages, the effects on employment of measures taken to promote economic development receive due consideration (Article 2).

3. Please describe the measures that have been adopted to promote employment in the rural sector.

4. Please supply information on the activities undertaken under the support programme for micro-enterprises and the emergency employment programme, including information on the results achieved. The Government may consider it useful to consult Part III of the Employment Policy (Supplementary Provisions) Recommendation, 1984 (No. 169), which is attached to the report form for this Convention.

5. Please specify the results achieved by the new operational structure of the National Employment Institute, set up by Ministerial Agreement No. 208 of 2 April 1990, to coordinate the implementation of employment policy.

6. Please describe the impact of new legislation provisions (such as Act No. 90 of 1990 and Act No. 1 of 1991 respecting free zones), which establish, inter alia, in-bond processing (maquilado) employment contracts and the procedures governing part-time employment contracts, in order to satisfy the needs of categories of persons who often encounter difficulty in finding lasting employment, such as women, young persons, older workers, the long-term unemployed and workers affected by restructuring.
