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:

Articles 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that no progress has been made towards ensuring more effective application of these Articles of the Convention. While noting that the Government is facing economic difficulties, it expresses the hope that it will be possible to increase the number of labour inspectors and that appropriate measures will be taken to provide all inspectors with the necessary transport facilities for them to visit workplaces regularly. It asks the Government, in its future reports, to provide detailed information on any new measures taken to this end.

Article 20. The Committee notes that the annual labour inspection reports have not reached the International Labour Office. It hopes that, in future, these reports will be transmitted within the time-limits laid down in Article 20 of the Convention.
