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

1. Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the staff of the labour inspection service and statistics of workplaces liable to inspection. It would appear, however, that since 1987 no annual report on the activities of the labour inspection services has been published and transmitted to the Office as required by Article 20. The Committee hopes that the Government will publish the reports due including all the information required by Article 21, and forward them to the International Labour Office within the time-limits prescribed.

2. The Committee recalls that mining and transport undertakings have not been exempted from the application of the Convention under Article 2(2). It would be grateful if the Government would include in its next report the information requested in the report form, relating in particular to these sectors.
