Article 11, paragraph 1. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to overcome the present difficulties encountered in providing for the needs of the labour inspection services, particularly as regards transport facilities. It requests the Government to supply information on any progress achieved in this respect.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes the statistics for 1986 on points (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Article 21. It trusts that in future annual reports on the work of the inspection services will be published and that they will contain information on all the points set out in Article 21.
