The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in the first report and in the report covering the period ending 30 June 1991. It requests the Government to provide information on the following points:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the latest standards and guidelines established by the ILO are used, and asks the Government to state for each of Articles 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 of the Convention, the standards and guidelines followed and the reasons for any departures from them.

Article 3. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the organisations of employers and workers are consulted and requests the Government to indicate, for each of Articles 7 to 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15, the manner in which the organisations of employers and workers were consulted in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used.

Article 6. Please state whether the methodological information respecting the statistics covered by Articles 7, 12, 14 and 15 has been published, and, if not, please indicate the measures proposed to this end.

Article 7. In the document attached to the first report, the Government states that the relevant data are published monthly in the National Urban Employment Survey (ENEU, "Encuesta National de Empleo Urbano"). But methodological information available in the ILO indicates that ENEU is a quarterly survey. The Committee notes this information and asks the Government to supply further information on the periodicity and reference periods of the statistics covered by this Article.

Article 11. The Committee notes that data on compensation of employees are compiled through the Monthly Industrial Survey (EIM, "Encuesta Industrial Mensual"), that figures from this source have been supplied to the ILO for publication in the Year Book of Labour Statistics, and that this survey covers the manufacturing industry only. In this connection, reference is made to the comment made under Article 17 below.

Article 12. Please indicate the title and reference number of the publication in which the consumer price index appears, in accordance with Article 5 and the report form.

Article 13. The Committee notes with interest that statistics of household expenditure and household income have been compiled in accordance with this Article, which was excluded from the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention. It draws the Government's attention to the possibility of subsequently accepting the obligations in respect of this Article in pursuance of Article 16, paragraph 3.

Article 14. The Committee notes that statistics of occupational injuries and occupational diseases cover the cases insured by the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS, "Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social") and asks the Government to supply further information on the coverage of these statistics (i.e. of the IMSS) in terms of branches of economic activity, sectors and categories of workers. It also notes that there is a plan for the creation of a national information system on work hazards and requests the Government to keep it informed in this connection.

Article 15. The Committee notes the Government's indication in the report that statistics of industrial disputes cover only those registered under federal jurisdiction and requests the Government to specify the coverage of the statistics in terms of branches of activity, sectors and geographical areas. It also notes that there is a plan to improve the reliability and the timeliness of data compiled through the Labour Relations Information System ("Sistema de Información de Relaciones Laborales") and asks the Government to keep it informed in this regard.

Article 17. The Government states in its first report that the coverage of the National Urban Employment Survey (ENEU) is limited to certain urban areas, that the coverage of the Monthly Industrial Survey (EIM) is limited to manufacturing industries, and that there are plans to improve and to extend the coverage of the statistics, including ENEU and EIM. The Committee notes this information. It further notes that the coverage of the statistics referred to in Article 7 is therefore limited to certain urban areas and manufacturing industries, that the coverage of the statistics referred to in Article 9 is limited to manufacturing and certain in-bond export subcontracting firms ("empresas maquiladoras de exportacion") and that the statistics covered by Articles 14 and 15 have limited coverage as noted above. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on any progress made in extending the scope of these statistics.
