The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 5(a) of the Convention. With reference to its previous direct request, the Committee notes that the Bill to provide for the establishment of a co-ordinating body of the various ministries involved in the safety of workers, entitled the "Environmental Safety Organisation", has not yet been adopted. It reiterates the hope that this Bill will shortly be adopted and that a copy will be sent to the Committee.

Articles 10, 16, 20 and 21. The Committee recalls that under Article 20 of the Convention an annual report of a general nature on the work of the inspection services must be published and communicated to the ILO within 12 months from the end of the year covered. The Committee trusts that in the future, such reports, containing information on the subjects listed under Article 21, will be published and transmitted to the ILO within the periods laid down in Article 20.
