Further to its previous direct request, the Committee notes the Government's report which states that the number of seagoing vessels registered in French Polynesia and engaged in the commercial transport of cargo or passengers (Article 1 of the Convention) is 19. The Government's report further states that eight of these vessels employ seamen registered on the crew lists and the others utilise cooks. The Committee requests once again the Government to state the legislative provisions currently in force regarding the certification of cooks on board vessels falling within the scope of the Convention (Articles 3 and 4).
