The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2020, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.

Repetition

In reply to the Committee’s previous direct request, the Government indicated in its report received in November 2012 that there have been no organized labour inspection services carried out in the agricultural industry as agriculture in Dominica is carried out by private individuals on small-scale farms. For the same reason, statistical information on the number of occupational accidents and claims to compensation is difficult to obtain. The Committee notes, however, that the Government undertook to collaborate with the social security institutions to collect the information available on claims made by individuals for injuries sustained in agricultural work. The Committee would welcome such information with the Government’s next detailed report. Please indicate also the total number of workers employed in agriculture in the country.
