The Committee notes the Government's report. It notes that it does not provide information on the tripartite consultations held on the matters covered by Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee wishes to emphasize the importance that it attaches to regular supervision of the application of the Convention, particularly through the provision of information on these consultations, which under the terms of paragraph 2 of the above Article should be held at least once a year.

It therefore requests the Government to provide in all future reports information concerning, as appropriate, any changes in the application of any of the provisions of the Convention and regular information on the consultations undertaken on each of the matters covered by Article 5 above, including their frequency, with an indication of the nature of any reports or recommendations adopted as a result of these consultations.

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would indicate, as requested in point VI of the report form, whether it has received any observations from the representative organizations to which it stated that these reports have been communicated.
