1. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in August 2001 and the provisions of Decision No. 1290 of 7 October 2000 by which the Minister of Social Affairs and Labour had established a tripartite committee for consultation and dialogue from September to December 2000. The Committee’s mandate includes consultations on all the matters covered by the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate if the mandate of the tripartite committee has been renewed. It refers to its 1999 direct request and once again asks the Government to give particulars of the consultations held, during the period covered by the next report, on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, including information as to the frequency of such consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.

2. Please also supply information on the consultations held with the representative organizations on the appropriateness of issuing an annual report in accordance with Article 6.
