Article 7, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Training of labour inspectors. The Committee notes the Government’s report containing the information that a plan of training for at least 50 labour inspectors per year is being implemented by the National School of Administration. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the implementation of this plan, especially the number of inspectors who have been or are being trained and the subjects covered in the light of the areas covered by the Convention, and also indicate the impact of this training initiative on the functioning of the labour inspectorate in quantitive and qualitative terms.

Article 10. Labour inspection staff. Noting that the Government’s report does not contain any information on the number of labour inspection staff, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the geographical distribution of serving labour inspectors, controllers and officers, stating which officials perform the duties and exercise the powers defined by Articles 3, 12, 13 and 17 of the Convention.

Article 11. Material resources of the labour inspectorate. The Committee notes with interest, according to the information supplied by the Government, that an extensive programme for reinforcing the material resources of the labour inspectorate, including the renovation of premises, provision of computer equipment to inspectors and purchase of vehicles, is currently under way. Emphasizing the importance of providing sufficient resources to the labour inspectorate so that labour inspectors, controllers and officers can carry out their field missions, the Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on the material resources allocated, and also on the impact of improvements in inspectors’ conditions of work on the operation of the labour inspectorate and its effectiveness.

Article 16. Inspections. According to the Government, it has not been possible, in view of the country’s situation, to establish the national registry of enterprises as announced. Knowledge of the economic structure to be covered on the part of the inspectorate would facilitate the gradual implementation of this provision of the Convention, which states that workplaces must be inspected as often and as thoroughly as is necessary to ensure the effective application of the relevant legal provisions governing conditions of work and the protection of workers while engaged in their work. While being fully aware of the difficulties described by the Government, the Committee hopes that the Government will be able to establish this registry in the near future in order to determine human, material and logistical requirements for the purpose of establishing appropriate budgetary forecasts.
