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

In the comments that it has been making since 1978, the Committee has referred to the provisions of Ordinance No. 30/CSM of 26 November 1975, and to Act No. 15 of 13 December 1959, under which any person who has participated in a strike is punishable by imprisonment involving forced labour, as well as Act No. 35 of 8 January 1960 respecting subversive texts. The Committee once again notes the Government's indications in its report that the competent ministries have again been requested to repeal or amend the texts that are contrary to the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will report the measures adopted for this purpose in the very near future. The Committee notes the adoption of the Decree of 1 May 1994 respecting the right to strike and the settlement of collective disputes. It requests the Government to provide a copy of the above Decree.

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