The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the brief general information supplied by the Government in its report for the period ending June 1994 and the statistical data on employment sent separately. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee is bound to request the Government again to supply in its next report full information on the effect given to the Convention in reply to each question of the report form approved by the Governing Body.

In this respect, the Committee recalls that it specifically requested the Government to specify the employment objectives set out in the plans and programmes it mentions and to provide detailed information on the measures taken to achieve them.

The Committee hopes to find in the Government's next report information which will enable it to ascertain to what extent an active policy of promoting full, productive and freely chosen employment is formulated and applied in the framework of a coordinated economic and social policy and in consultation with all the persons affected, in accordance with Articles 1, 2 and 3 of the Convention.
