The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

Articles 4 and 6 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Constitution of 8 December 1994 grants civil servants the right to organize and to conclude agreements with their employers (section 42). The Government had indicated in its report that specific legislation is being prepared to this end and will be sent to the ILO as soon as it is promulgated. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report any progress made towards adoption of legislation ensuring the recognition, both in law and in practice, of the right to voluntary negotiation of employment conditions for public servants, with the sole possible exception of those engaged in the administration of the State.
