1. Article 1, paragraphs 1 to 4 of the Convention. The Committee notes with interest the texts setting up the bodies responsible for implementing a policy for the development of human resources and the institutional link that they establish between employment and training objectives. It would be grateful if the Government, in its future reports on the Convention and in connection with the reports due on Conventions Nos. 88 and 122, would continue to provide information on the activities of the newly established bodies, and particularly on the manner in which vocational guidance and training policies and programmes are linked to employment and employment services. Please refer also to Part VI of the report form.

2. Article 2. Please provide further information describing all systems of general, technical and vocational education, educational and vocational guidance and vocational training, and indicating to what extent these systems are "open, flexible and complementary" in the meaning of the Convention.

3. Article 3, paragraph 1. Please specify the measures ensuring that comprehensive information and the broadest possible guidance are available to the persons concerned, including disabled workers. Please indicate any extension of the vocational guidance system during the period covered by the report.

4. Article 3, paragraphs 2 and 3. Please provide the information required in the report form, on the type of information available for occupational guidance, indicating in particular how information and guidance are supplemented by information on general aspects of collective agreements and labour law.

5. Article 4. The Committee takes note of the measures implemented by the Agency for Employment and Vocational Training, particularly with regard to "specific activities". It would be grateful if, in its future reports, the Government would supply more extensive information on the measures taken and the developments that have occurred with regard to the extension and adaptation of vocational training systems.
