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:

The Committee notes that section 8 of Ordinance No. 69-14 of 19 June 1969 concerning the exercise of the right to strike provides, amongst other measures, that the personnel of public or private enterprises, organisations and establishments whose operation is necessary to the life of the nation, may be deprived of their right to resort to strike when the interruption of their service could be prejudicial to the economy and the overriding interests of the nation.

The Committee asks the Government to indicate the public or private establishments, organisations or enterprises whose operation is necessary to the life of the nation and the circumstances in which, in the opinion of the Government, the interruption of the services of these establishments is liable to be prejudicial to the economy and the overriding interests of the nation. It also requests the Government to provide information on the cases in which this provision has been applied.

Furthermore, the Committee asks the Government to indicate if the draft Labour Code elaborated with the assistance of the ILO has been adopted and if so to communicate a copy of the final text.
