The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes, in particular, that a plan for a fully operational Employment Service has been prepared by the Labour Commissioner and submitted to the Government. It also notes that the implementation of the plan has not been possible up to now.

The Committee reiterates its hope that the Government will take necessary measures in the very near future to make the Employment Service fully operational and will provide in its next report information on any progress made in this connection, and in particular on the following points:

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will give effect to those provisions of the law which deal with the setting up of advisory committees, and that it will provide information on the new developments expected concerning the implementation of these Articles.

Articles 7(b) and 8. Please give particulars concerning the measures taken or envisaged to give effect to these Articles.

Article 10. Please describe the measures envisaged to encourage full voluntary use of employment service facilities by employers and workers.

Point IV of the report form. Please provide the statistical information requested as soon as it is available.
