The Committee takes note of the Government's report for the period ending in June 1997 and the information provided in answer to its previous direct request. The Committee notes that consultations are still under way on the adoption of certain points in the Regulations of the Permanent Commission on tripartite consultations for the implementation of international labour standards. The Government indicates that the texts governing the establishment, powers and working of this Commission will be communicated as soon as they are adopted, together with information on the manner in which administrative support is to be provided for the procedures referred to in the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position to indicate in its next report the progress made in this regard. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee also requests the Government to provide detailed information on the following points:

Article 4, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Government is requested to indicate whether arrangements have been made or are envisaged for the financing of any necessary training of persons participating in the consultation procedures.

Article 5. The Committee notes the information on the consultations that have taken place in the above-mentioned tripartite Commission on the issues set out in paragraph 1. It asks the Government to continue to provide such information, including information on the frequency of such consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations resulting from them.

Article 6. The Government is asked to indicate whether, in accordance with this provision, tripartite consultations have been conducted on the possibility of preparing an annual report on the activities of the Permanent Commission for the implementation of international labour standards; if so, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would inform it of the results of such consultations.
