Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's indication that no important changes have occurred in application of the Convention, but that the Ministry is formalising its organisational structure. It would be grateful if the Government would kindly provide information on the following points:

Article 1 of the Convention. With respect to the organisation of the labour administration, please provide information on its staffing and field structure.

Article 3. Please indicate if there are particular activities in the field of labour policy which are regulated by recourse to direct negotiation between employers' and workers' organisations.

Articles 4 and 10. Please include in future reports details of organisational, budgetary and staffing developments affecting the efficiency of labour administration. Please indicate what material means and financial resources necessary for the effective performance of duties are made available to the staff of the labour administration system.

Article 5. The Committee would also be glad if the Government provided full information on the manner in which arrangements are made within the system of labour administration at the national, regional, and local levels and in different sectors of economic activity to ensure consultation, co-operation and negotiation between public authorities and the most representative organisations of employers and workers.

Article 6(2)(c) and (d). Please provide information on services available to employers and workers and their respective organisations designed to promote consultation and co-operation between public authorities and bodies and employers' and workers' organisations as well as between such organisations. Please also state what technical advice is available to employers and workers and their respective organisations.

Article 7. Please provide information on progress achieved in promoting the extension of labour administration activities to workers engaged in occupations listed in this Article.

Additionally, the Committee would be pleased if, in future reports, the Government would so far as possible respond to the questions posed in the report form.
