The Committee notes the Government's reports for the periods 1 July 1994 to 30 June 1995 and 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998. With reference to its previous requests, the Committee notes with interest the survey on occupational insertion of the former trainees of the "400 managers" programme. Moreover, it notes the adoption of measures to assess the impact of the "young trainees for development" programme on the occupational insertion of its beneficiaries. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide any available information on the effectiveness of active labour market policy measures.

The Committee notes the Government's statement that reducing the existing economic and social differences between the three provinces is a priority for the Territory and that in this regard the Government refers to different economic projects in the mining, tourism, construction and administration sectors. With reference to the comments that it has been making for several years, the Committee hopes that the Government's next report will contain more detailed information on the global and sectoral development policies which are being implemented to promote harmonious regional and development activities and employment.
