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 following matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government's reply to its previous comments that the amendments to the Labour Code are still under examination by the competent authority. It hopes that the amendments will be adopted in the near future and that the Labour Code thus revised will fix at 16 years the minimum age of admission to any employment or work, including work performed outside an employment relationship.

Article 4, paragraph 2. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government. It would appreciate receiving further information specifying the reasons for continuing the exclusion of certain categories of employment from the application of the Convention, and on the position of law and practice in respect of them.

Article 9, paragraph 3. In its previous comments the Committee has requested the Government to supply a copy of the register prescribed in section E6 of the Labour Code. Since no such specimen has been attached to the report, the Committee again requests the Government to communicate it.
