The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which reads as follows:

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report on the application of the Convention and the observations forwarded by the Ceylon Workers’ Congress.

In previous comments the Committee noted that the Atomic Energy Authority had drafted new regulations incorporating the 1990 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP).

The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that dose limits for radiation workers and the general public as recommended by the ICRP will be put into effect after the new regulations are approved by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Human Resources Development and by Parliament. It also notes the indication by the Ceylon Workers’ Congress that by 1 August 1994, the draft amendments proposed by the Atomic Energy Authority were still with the legal draftsmen and further action to present them to the legislative could only be taken when they were received back at the Atomic Energy Authority, and that the Chairman, AEA, indicated that the comments made by the Committee of Experts in respect of Articles 1, 7, 12, 13(a), 13(c) and 14 had been taken into consideration.

The Committee hopes that new regulations ensuring the full application of the Convention will be adopted in the near future, and that the Government will soon be in a position to supply the text of the provisions adopted. It again addresses a direct request to the Government on certain points.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
