The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's first report. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate what provisions of national law prohibit the employment of young persons over 15 years and below 18 years of age on any vessel, other than vessels upon which only members of the same family are employed, unless a medical certificate is produced attesting fitness for such work, signed by a doctor approved by the competent authority, as required by Article 2 of the Convention.
