The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will provide an answer to the point raised in its previous direct request, which reads as follows.

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. In view of the adoption of Act No. 88.009 respecting freedom of association and the protection of the right to organise, the Committee asks the Government to state whether Order No. 1.115/DFLC of 25 March 1957, to promulgate Act No. 56/416 of 27 April 1956 which guaranteed freedom of association and the protection of the right to organise (Official Journal AEF of 15 April 1957) to which the Government referred in its first report in 1967 and in its reports of 1968 and 1970 and which applies the provisions of the Convention, is still in force.
