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:

Repetition
Application of the Convention in practice. The Government indicates in its report that reported cases of occupational disease are very low compared to the reality because it is difficult for employers and workers to distinguish occupational diseases from natural diseases. Moreover, according to the annexes supplied by the Government with its report, already in 2000, it noticed that there was considerable ignorance among the population as a whole with regard to occupational diseases, and that workers, employers and doctors had little knowledge of the existence of these diseases. In this regard, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would specify the necessary measures that it intends to take to improve the operation of the system for the diagnosis and recognition of occupational diseases taking into account the possibility of seeking technical assistance from the ILO.
