Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes that under section 132, paragraph 2, of the Labour Code of 1984, workers may opt to take their accumulated holidays in respect of two consecutive years, whereas, in accordance with this provision of the Convention, a holiday of at least six working days shall be taken each year. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future to bring national legislation into conformity with the Convention in this respect.

Article 2, paragraph 3(b). Although noting that under section 126, paragraph 3, of the Labour Code, absences due to industrial injuries and diseases are regarded as actual service in the calculation of the number of days holiday due, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether such absences which occur during the holidays are deducted from annual paid leave.

Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to supply with its next report copies of the texts to which it refers in its last report, namely the collective agreement and Order No. 58-129-IT/C of 6 June 1958, to make rules for the grant of annual leave with pay.
