The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report for the period 1 June 1997 to 30 June 1999. It notes in particular the information supplied in response to previous comments pertaining to Article 2, paragraphs 2(b), 4, 5 and 6, and Article 6, paragraph 2.

Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Convention.  In response to previous comments, the Government states that it has revised the penalties for abuse of fixed-term contracts intended to circumvent the legal protections pertaining to termination of employment and referred to various laws enacted for that purpose. The Government also states that monitoring of types of contracts has been set as a priority for the Inspectorate-General of Labour. A draft law was also introduced to combat fictitious self-employment, but was not approved. The Committee notes with interest these efforts to ensure that the Convention is applied in practice, and would appreciate receiving further information on their outcome.
