The Committee notes that on 24 March 2004 the Government sent an observation by the Swedish Trade Union Confederation concerning: (i) possible contradictions between the requirements of this Convention and those of the Safety and Health in Agriculture Convention, 2001 (No. 184), as regards the presence and role of women on the staff of the inspectorate for agriculture; and (ii) the proportion of their duties that work environment inspectors devote to labour inspection in the agricultural sector.

The Committee also notes that the Government forwarded explanations regarding point (ii) above sent by the Work Environment Authority. The Committee will examine, together with the Government’s next report on the application of the Convention, the information sent in reply to its previous comments, the content of the organization’s observations, and any further explanations the Government sees fit to send on the points raised by the organization.
