With reference to its previous comments on the need for basic legal standards prohibiting acts of anti-union discrimination to be accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive measures to ensure their application in practice, the Committee notes the Government's report stating that it envisages, with ILO assistance, a review of its labour legislation in order to harmonise it with ratified Conventions. It asks the Government in its next report to provide detailed information on all progress made in this respect, particularly on the measures taken to strengthen the national legislation so as to ensure the application of Article 1 of the Convention.

Furthermore, the Committee asks the Government to inform it of the points at issue in the case of Girard et Pierre v. A.-G. and to transmit a copy of the Privy Council's judgement when it is handed down.
