The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It recalls that, according to the information supplied by the Government in its last report, no progress had been made in the application of the Convention. 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 notes that by virtue of section 142 of Act No. 212/AN/82 to issue the Maritime Code, seafarers come under a special scheme for retirement benefit that is yet to be set up.

The Committee hopes that the necessary measures in this connection will be taken in the near future and asks the Government to report any progress realised.
