Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. Further to its previous observations, the Committee recalls the data and analysis contained in the Note on labour statistics for 1988. It notes with interest the Government's statement that the necessary steps will be taken to include statistics of occupational diseases in the Note in future. The Committee hopes that the Government will shortly provide copies of the annual Notes from 1988 onwards, in accordance with Article 20 of the Convention. It also asks the Government to indicate the form in which the Notes are published.

Articles 3, paragraph 2, and 16. The Committee notes that only 15 per cent of the establishments registered in 1986 were inspected in 1988. For Dakar, the corresponding figure was 7.9 per cent. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that workplaces are inspected as often and as thoroughly as is necessary, and that other tasks entrusted to labour inspectors do not hamper the performance of their main duties.
