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 6, 7 and 8 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement that, through the National Social Security Fund, Guinea has signed an agreement with the Social Security Fund of the Republic of Mali (which has not ratified the Convention) and that negotiations are under way with other countries with a view to concluding bilateral social security agreements. It therefore hopes that the Government will be in a position to provide information in its next report on progress made regarding the conclusion of new social security agreements with other member States concerned which are bound by the Convention, and with which there are migration flows, with a view to ensuring, in particular, that effect is given to these provisions of the Convention and, especially, to participating in a system for the maintenance of acquired rights and rights in the course of acquisition, in accordance with the provisions of Articles 7 and 8.
