The Committee notes the Government’s report and the information it contains in reply to the Committee’s previous comments and requests the Government to continue to supply detailed information, particularly in regard to the following points.

1. Publication of an annual report. The Committee recalls that, by virtue of Article 20 of the Convention, an annual report on the work of the labour inspection services must not only be prepared, but also published within a reasonable time and transmitted to the ILO. The Committee requests the Government to attach copies of these annual reports to its forthcoming reports on the application of the Convention.

2. International cooperation and ILO technical assistance. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest that the Government has obtained financing from the Community of Portuguese-speaking Countries for training more than 50 inspectors. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on technical cooperation activities that are in progress or envisaged in regard to training of inspectors or with a view to revising the conditions of service of the General Labour Inspectorate.
