The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following points:

In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government's earlier indication that it was engaged in efforts to harmonize its legislation with the provisions of this Convention. The Committee recalls that it has been commenting on the application of this Convention for many years; and that in 1976, at the Government's request, the International Labour Office sent a proposal for new provisions that could be incorporated into the existing legislation in order to give effect to the Convention. However, although the Government has stated on several occasions that it would adopt the necessary texts to give effect to the Convention, they have not yet been adopted. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will ensure that the text which is to give effect to the Convention and which the Government has been drafting since 1979, is adopted shortly.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
