The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government indicating once again that the Central Body for Management and Administration has circulated to all state services instructions that a clause be included in all public contracts guaranteeing to workers engaged under those contracts conditions of work not less favourable than those of other workers performing the same work. The Government also indicates that a letter has been transmitted to the Minister of Administrative Development requesting him to issue instructions to all state services that the above clauses be included. The Committee welcomes the action taken by the Government in response to its comments concerning the application of the Convention and, in particular, of Article 2 of the Convention as set out above.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate in its next report whether contracts concluded by the state services have included the above clause. It also requests the Government to supply a copy of the instructions transmitted by the Central Body for Administration to the state services and copies of contracts which have included the above clause.
