The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 7 of the Convention. Statistical information. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the indication contained in the Government’s report that statistics are not available on cases of morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning among working painters. The Government indicates that such statistics will be supplied to the Committee once they have been collected and compiled. The Committee wishes to remind the Government that it has been requesting it to provide these statistics since 1988. The Committee is bound once again to express the firm hope that the Government will provide statistical data in the very near future, in accordance with Article 7 of the Convention.

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