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

The Committee notes the comments made by Association of Customs Officers (ASEPA) in a communication dated 12 October 1995. It notes that, although the ASEPA mentions Convention No. 94 among others, there is no information in the communications that would allow the Committee to judge whether there has been any infringement of the provisions of the Convention. The Committee recalls that the Convention applies to public contracts which involve the employment of workers by the party other than the public authority (Article 1(1)(b)(ii) of the Convention), and that the employment contracts between a public authority and its employees are outside the scope of this Convention.

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