The Committee notes the comments of the Union of Workers' Trade Unions (USO) (Regional Union of the Asturies) according to which the labour standards in respect of weekly rest and holidays are not respected in the large commercial centres. The Committee notes the Government's indications that the general management of the Labour Inspectorate and the provincial labour inspection service of the Asturies carry out inspections on the application of the labour standards relating to hours of work and of rest: at the national level, the inspection service carried out 13,111 visits and recorded 1,645 infringements; the regional inspectorate of the Asturies carried out 284 visits and recorded 41 infringements concerning 488 workers. The Committee asks the Government to continue to communicate in its future reports information on inspections in this field.
