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:

Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention. Under section 27, paragraph 2, of Decree No. 61/82 of 3 August 1982, taken in conjunction with section 8 which provides for a compulsory interval of 10 hours between two periods of work, the prohibition of night work for women covers a total of 10 hours whereas the Convention prescribes 11 consecutive hours.

The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to bring the legislation into conformity with these provisions of the Convention and requests it to report any progress achieved in this respect.
