The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to its comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee notes that the last sentence of section 42(3) of the Public Contracts Code (as published in Journal Officiel de le Polynesie franóaise of 20 June 1984) states that in the cases indicated in section 41(1) and (2), the insertion of the clauses and conditions required by section 42 is optional. The Committee considers that the reference to section 41 could be erroneous and requests the Government to indicate the circumstances in which the insertion of the labour clauses required by this Article of the Convention are optional.

Article 2, paragraph 3. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the consultations with the organisations of employers and workers concerned, which are required by this provision, were carried out before the adoption of the terms of the clauses.
