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:

The Committee asks the Government to refer to the observation it is making on this Convention.

The Committee notes with interest that, by virtue of Decree No. 019/PRG/SGG/88 of 17 January 1988, a Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment has been established, whose attributions and organisation have been laid down by Decree No. 131/PRG/SGG/88 of 15 June 1988. (The Committee asks the Government to provide a copy of these texts, which were not received with the report.) It also notes that the National Office of Employment and Manpower is responsible for implementing the national employment policy and that the National Office for Vocational Training and Advanced Training has already collected basic data which can be used for assistance to enterprises in drawing up training programmes that are consistent with job opportunities and for participation in the selection and recruitment of applicants.

The Committee again asks the Government to provide information on the criteria used in selecting and recruiting job applicants and on any other positive measure concerning employment and training that may have been taken as part of the national employment policy, in order to apply the principle of equality of opportunity and treatment set forth in the Convention, and to eliminate all discrimination on the grounds listed in Article 1(a) of this instrument.

The Committee would also like to receive particulars (including statistical data) of the results obtained in the following areas:

(a) access to vocational training;

(b) access to employment and the various occupations;

(c) conditions of employment.

The Committee hopes that the next report will contain the information requested.
