Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement that efforts are still being made to reconsider this issue. The Committee accordingly reiterates the hope that the Government will soon be able to take the necessary measures to protect homeworkers, who are presently excluded from coverage of the Labour Decree, and that it will indicate in its next report what measures have been taken or contemplated in this respect.

Article 5. The Committee notes with interest the Government's statement that the National Labour Advisory Council has recommended the amendment of the Labour Decree to provide that wages must be paid directly to the worker. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able, in its next report, to indicate that the Labour Decree has been amended to this effect. The Committee also notes the relevant provisions of the National Dock Labour Decree, No. 13, of 1979.
