With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that no progress has yet been achieved in giving effect to the provisions of Articles 14 (notification of cases of occupational diseases to the labour inspectorate) and 15(b) (obligation for inspectors not to reveal secrets) of the Convention. It hopes that appropriate measures to give effect to these Articles will be taken in the near future.

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the annual inspection report for 1987 provides statistics that mainly concern industrial accidents. It trusts that in future the reports will contain information on the work of the inspection services, including statistics on all the subjects enumerated in Article 21, and that they will be published and transmitted to the ILO within the time-limits set forth in Article 20.
