Article 11 of the Convention. With regard to the possibility for fishermen to demand their immediate discharge, the Committee has been drawing the Government's attention for some years to the fact that it is not reflected in the national legislation. It notes with interest that the Government plans to have a Bill drawn up to deal with matters still pending, and also that the ILO has agreed in principle to the Government's request for technical assistance for a more general revision of the Merchant Marine Code.
