The Committee notes the Government’s detailed report and the replies to its previous comments.

Increase of labour inspection staff and of the number of inspection visits.  Articles 10 and 16. The Committee notes with interest the increase of the number of inspectors from 234 in 2001 to 269 in 2003 and of the number of the inspection visits by 2,982 (16.6 per cent) in 2002, particularly putting more emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises.

Reimbursement of travel expenses.  Article 11, paragraph 2. Also noting with interest the indication that the Government has introduced an administrative procedure for the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by using private cars of inspectors while on duty, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply to the ILO a copy of the regulation "The procedure of use of private cars for service needs and remuneration for it".

Annual inspection report.  Article 20, paragraph 3. Noting that, according to the Government, annual inspection reports for 2001 and 2002 have been published and placed on the web site of the Labour Inspectorate and noting, however, that this site was not accessible to the ILO, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would ensure that the abovementioned reports are duly communicated.
