The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to its previous comments. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes the observations made by the Latin American Central of Workers (CLAT), with reference to Articles 6 and 9 of the Convention, pointing out that there have been cases of non-payment of wages for overtime hours worked and inappropriate deductions from wages. These observations were transmitted to the Government for its comments in January 1998. In the absence of response from the Government, the Committee invites it to send its observation on the issues raised.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
