The Committee notes that no report has been received from the Government. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

The Committee has been referring for many years to the provisions of section 982 of the Tax Code (formerly 260bis) which allows authorities to impose labour for the purpose of tax collection, and article 2 of Act No. 14 of 13 November 1959 under which persons convicted of penal offences can be subjected, by administrative decision, to work which is in the public interest.

The Committee again notes that, according to the Government’s report, these provisions have not yet been amended or repealed although the Government has repeatedly stated that this was its intent. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures without further delay to ensure that the Convention is observed on these points.

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