The Committee notes that the labour protection legislation adopted recently continues to give effect to the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee welcomes the fact that the Government in its recent report provides statistics regarding the number of prosecuted cases related to the Convention covering the period 1995–2000. It also notes that there appears to have been a sharp increase in this number of such cases in 2000 (ten) as compared to 1999 (one). The Committee requests the Government to provide further information regarding the causes for this increase, the outcome of these cases and any further information on measures taken to ensure a full application of the Convention.
