Article 3, paragraph 1(c), of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee hopes that pending the revision of the Labour Code referred to by the Government in its last report, appropriate measures will be taken to give effect to this provision of the Convention, which provides that the labour inspectorate must bring to the notice of the competent authority defects or abuses not specifically covered by existing legal provisions. It requests the Government to provide information on any progress made in this regard in its next report.

Articles 11 and 16. The Committee requests the Government to provide specific indications on the number of vehicles placed at the disposal of labour inspectors, and on the arrangements made to reimburse to labour inspectors any travelling and incidental expenses which may be necessary for the perfomance of their duties, particularly with regard to visits to workplaces liable to inspection.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes that the report on the work of the labour inspectorate has not reached the International Labour Office. It trusts that the Government will take the necessary steps to ensure that, in future, annual inspection reports containing information on all the subjects listed at Article 21 are published and transmitted to the International Labour Office within the period laid down at Article 20.
