The Committee notes the Government's report and would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide statistical information and other documentation as required under point IV of the report form. Please also refer to the following points.

1. Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. In response to previous comments, the Government states that various replacement instruments are being developed after consultation of employers' and workers' organizations to obtain increased effectiveness in the struggle against unemployment. The Committee again requests the Government to take into account that the above provisions of the Convention provide that suitable arrangements shall be made through advisory committees for the cooperation of representatives of employers and workers in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of employment service programme. The Committee trusts that the Government will continue to take the necessary measures to give effect to the provisions of the Convention.

2. Article 9. The Committee notes from the Government's information that the staff of the National Employment and Salaries Service are recruited with sole regard to their qualifications for the performance of their duties. The Committee recalls the provisions of Article 9 and trusts that the Government will be able to provide additional information on the legal status and conditions of service of employment service staff, indicating, in particular, whether they are independent of changes of Government and of improper external influences and, subject to the needs of the service, are assured of stability of employment.

3. Article 11. The Committee notes from the Government's information that there are no private employment agencies conducted with a view to profit. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of the Ministerial Resolution of 21 October 1997, with respect to the authorization and regulation of the operation of private employment agencies, referred to in the Government's report.
