The Committee takes note of the Government's last report and the information provided in answer to its previous direct request. The Government once again indicates that measures to improve the legislative provisions on which the Committee has been commenting for many years have still not been taken. However, the Government indicates that the National Labour Advisory Committee is planning to revise the Labour Code in order to bring it into harmony with international labour standards. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any developments in this regard and hopes that the Government's next report will indicate the progress that has been made, in particular with regard to the following point.
Article 9 of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes that section 92(2) of the Labour Code in some cases authorizes the accrual of leave only after a period not exceeding two years, and that section 1(3) of Decree No. 75-28 of 10 January 1975 authorizes the postponement of leave for a similar period. The Committee recalls that, since 1980, it has been drawing the Government's attention to the fact that such provisions are not in conformity with the Convention, according to which part of the leave (at least two weeks) must be granted and taken within one year from the end of the year which gives rise to the leave entitlement.
