The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Part I of the report form. Legislation. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate any new legal provision relating to matters covered by the Convention and international standards used in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methods used in the collection, compilation and publication of the statistics required thereby.

Article 2 of the Convention.Referring to its previous comments, the Committee asks once again the Government to provide the ILO with information on the application of the latest international standards and to specify, for each Article of the Convention for which the obligations were accepted (i.e. Articles 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15), which standards and guidelines are followed.

Article 7.The Committee requests the Government to provide the ILO with the concepts, definitions and methodology used to produce the official estimates of labour force, employment and unemployment in San Marino.

Article 8. According to the report, the detailed demographic statistics are obtained from the population administrative registers, and not from the population census. The report provides an example of a model family in San Marino with a detailed composition of a model family’s budget and some other useful information. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would insure that methodological information on the concepts and definitions relating to the register-based labour force statistics in pursuance of Article 6 of this Convention be provided to the ILO.

Article 9, paragraph 1. Noting that the annual statistics of average earnings and hours actually worked are not yet broken down by sex, the Committee once again asks it to take necessary steps to this end and to keep the ILO informed of any future developments in this field.

Article 9, paragraph 2. The Committee notes the communication in 2006 of statistics on prevailing monthly wage rates and normal hours by occupation, derived from collective agreements, for publication in the ILO October Inquiry, the latest data referring to 2005. The Committee welcomes the progress made with regard to this Article and asks the Government to ensure that these statistics are regularly transmitted to the ILO.

Article 10. The Committee notes with concern that this Article has not yet been applied. There is no mention in the report of statistics on wage structure and distribution in the report, nor other information, on the composition of earnings and hours of work and on the distribution of employees by levels of earnings and hours of work. The Committee asks the Government to take necessary steps to give effect to this provision and to keep the ILO informed of any developments in this field.

Article 11. The Committee notes that no information is available on the structure of compensation of employees by major components. It therefore asks the Government whether it is possible to compile such statistics for more than four groups in manufacturing, and to communicate these to the ILO as soon as practicable, in accordance with Article 5 of this Convention.

The Committee also asks the Government to indicate the measures taken to produce, publish and communicate to the ILO specific methodological information on the concepts, definitions and methods adopted to compile statistics of average compensation of employees in pursuance of Article 6.

Article 12. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide the ILO with the methodological information on the new consumer price indices (CPI) (base December 2002=100) in pursuance of Article 6 of this Convention.

Article 13. The Government indicates that it provides some data relating to 2004 and illustrating the living standard conditions of the households in the country. However, the report does not specify the source of information. No response has been received to the ILO questionnaire on household income and expenditure statistics 2005, or to the ILO methodological questionnaire on the household income and expenditure survey. The Committee notes that detailed statistics on household expenditures are regularly published by the Office of Economic Planning, Data Processing and Statistics in the annual publication, Survey on the consumption and the San Marino families life style available at http://www.upeceds.sm/eng/
pubblicazioni.html, and that summary statistics is available at http://www.upeceds.sm/eng/famiglie-societa.html. However, no information is available in this publication about the sources, concepts, definition and methodology used in collecting and compiling household income and expenditure statistics. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would:

(i)    indicate whether the representative organizations of employers and workers that were consulted when the concepts, definitions and methodology used were designed (in accordance with Article 3); and

(ii)   communicate a detailed description of the sources, concepts, definition and methodology used in collecting and compiling household income and expenditure statistics as required under Article 6.

Article 14. The Committee notes that the Government’s report provides statistical data and analysis on the number of occupational injuries by branch of economic activity in 2000 and 2004, and on suspected work-related diseases for 2004. Annual data on occupational injuries covering all branches of economic activity have been provided to the ILO for publication in the Yearbook of Labour Statistics. However, as the concepts and definitions used in the statistics have not been provided to the ILO, the methodological information available is incomplete. The Committee requests the Government to provide more comprehensive information about the statistical system, with particular reference to the concepts and definitions used for statistics on occupational injuries.

Article 15. The Committee notes that no information is given in the report regarding this Article. However, the following series of data were received for publication in the Yearbook of Labour Statistics (the most recent statistics received refer to 2005): (i) strikes and lockouts by economic activity; (ii) strikes and lockouts: workers involved, by economic activity; and (iii) strikes and lockouts: days not worked, by economic activity. As no data on strike and lockout (rates of days not worked, by economic activity) were provided, the Committee hopes that the Government will not fail to fulfil its obligation under this Article to communicate data regularly to the ILO in accordance with Article 5 of this Convention.
