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

Articles 2 to 4 of the Convention.  For several decades the Committee has drawn the Government’s attention to the absence of measures giving effect to the abovementioned Articles and to the need to make provision in the national legislation for, or to establish by other equally effective measures, the prohibition of the sale, hire, transfer in any other manner and exhibition of machinery of which the dangerous parts are without appropriate guards, with the obligation to respect this prohibition being placed on the person selling, hiring, exhibiting or transferring the machinery in any other manner, or on their representatives.

In its reports, the Government referred on several occasions to a draft Order relating to the guarding of machinery and to the review of the Labour Code as part of which provisions designed to give effect to the Articles of the Convention in question would be adopted. The Committee notes that this position was confirmed by government representatives during the technical advisory mission conducted by the ILO in 1997.

The Committee once again express the hope that in the very near future the Government will take all the necessary measures to ensure finally that the provisions of Articles 2 to 4 of the Convention are applied.
