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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. Whilst the Government refers to General People's Committee Order No. 862, 1992, section 3 which requires the General Manpower Authority to implement certain named matters, that does not answer the points raised in the previous requests of the Committee. The Committee is therefore bound to raise them again.

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to indicate in greater detail what consultations on the organization and operation of the employment service and the development of the employment service policy are carried out under the aegis of the General People's Committee on Vocational Training and the people's committees on vocational training at the municipal level which, according to the Government, have entire responsibility in this area.

Article 6. The Committee notes that, according to the information supplied by the Government, the General Manpower Authority established by a decision of the General People's Committee in 1992, is responsible, in particular, for regulating the employment of migrant workers. It would be grateful if the Government would describe in greater detail the content and effect of Orders Nos. 4, 5 and 37 of 1993 respecting the organization of the Authority. Please indicate also the role played by the manpower and in-house training offices in facilitating the movement of workers from one country to another which may have been approved by the governments concerned, and in facilitating occupational mobility, in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Article of the Convention. Lastly, the Committee asks the Government to describe the activities carried out by these offices in order to fulfil the tasks listed in paragraphs (a), (c), (d) and (e) of this Article (see also Parts IV and VI of the report form adopted by the Governing Body).

Article 9. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the methods of recruitment and selection of employment service staff.
