The Committee notes with regret that for the second time the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes from the Government's report that there have been no changes in the application of the Convention. It recalls that for many years it has been requesting the Government to take steps to amend the legislation so as to provide for sickness insurance. It again expresses its hope that, with the technical assistance of the International Labour Office, the Government will endeavour to establish a sickness insurance scheme in accordance with the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
