The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government in reply to its direct request concerning the application of Article 16 of the Convention.

Articles 20 and 21. The Committee notes the statistics contained in the Government's report and the tables attached to it. This data concerns the staff of the labour inspection services, inspection visits, violations and penalties imposed, and industrial accidents and occupational diseases. The Committee trusts that the Government will take, in future, the necessary steps for general information on the work of the inspection services and statistics on all the subjects enumerated in Article 21 of the Convention to be published in an annual inspection report and for these reports to be transmitted to the ILO within the time-limits established in Article 20.
