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

Article 16, paragraph 3, of the Convention. For many years the Committee has been drawing the Government's attention to the fact that labour inspectors must, on the occasion of an inspection visit, notify not only the employer or his representative of their presence (as provided by section 248 of the Act to organise agricultural relations), but also the workers or their representatives. In its report for 1986, the Government stated that the Act to organise agricultural relations was to be amended in order to give full effect to this provision of the Convention. The Committee regrets to note, from the Government's last report, that it has changed its position and considers that the legislation that is in force is in conformity with the Convention since, during inspection visits at the workplace, inspectors necessarily come into contact with workers. The Committee is bound to note that inspection visits to offices (for example, for the purposes of inspecting documents) do not automatically result in contact with the workers. It therefore requests the Government to take the necessary measures to amend section 248 of the Act, so as to provide explicitly that workers or their representatives should be informed of the presence of inspectors in the enterprise in the same way as employers or their representatives. Articles 26 and 27. The Committee notes that the statistical tables appended to the Government's report do not contain the information required under Article 27 of the Convention. Furthermore, it recalls that, by virtue of Article 26 of the Convention, an annual report on the work of the inspection services in agriculture (either in the form of a separate report, or as part of a general annual report of the labour inspection services) must be published and communicated to the ILO within 12 months after the end of the year to which it relates. It therefore trusts that, in future, reports containing information on all the subjects laid down in Article 27 will be published and communicated to the ILO within the time limits set forth in Article 26.

TEXT

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