The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Regularization of migrant workers. The Committee notes that section 40 of Act No. 2007-1631 of 20 November 2007 provides, on an exceptional basis, for the issuing of a temporary residency permit with the indication of “employed person”. It concerns a restricted number of third-country nationals whose qualifications are particularly needed in the labour market. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether third-country nationals who find themselves in an irregular situation are able to obtain such a permit. Please also continue to provide information on any procedures for the regularization of persons in an irregular situation.
