The Committee notes the information that the Convention continues to be applied in the country and that further effect has been given to the Convention by the adoption in 2004 of an implementing decree to Act No. 65-99, establishing the Labour Code which prohibits the employment of minors under 18 years of age, women and disabled persons in quarries and underground mines.

The Committee welcomes the information that the Government has initiated the ratification process of the Safety and Health in Mines Convention, 1995 (No. 176), and that the Government council approved its ratification on 17 July 2003. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any further development in this regard.
