The Committee takes note of the information contained in the Government's report.

It recalls that its previous comments concerned the necessity to amend Legislative Decree No. 1/90 of 25 August 1967 on rural associations which imposes on agricultural workers certain obligations with regard to compulsory membership, compulsory contribution and the provision of agricultural or livestock products, all those obligations being contrary to the Convention.

The Committee takes due note of the Government's statement in its last report according to which the Decree in question was never applied since its promulgation. The Government also indicates that it is urgent to expressly repeal this Decree. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to forward it the repealing text as soon as it is adopted.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2000.]
