The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee has noted that a draft project document containing measures to improve the employment service system had been shelved due to unavoidable circumstances. It also noted the Government's intention to consolidate the employment function of the labour division and its view that the law should then encompass most of the provisions of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information in its next report on all developments in the implementation of Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Convention. The Committee would be glad if the Government would also describe any consultations taking place with representatives of employers and workers, either in the newly established National Human Resources Deployment Advisory Committee or in the tripartite Labour Advisory Board, concerning the organisation and operation of the employment services and the development of employment service policy (Articles 4 and 5). The Committee hopes that the Government will provide statistical information as soon as it is available in conformity with point IV of the report form.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
