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:

The Committee notes the Government statement in its report that collective agreements cannot be concluded in the areas covered by the Law on civil servants and the Law on the public service. In this respect, the Committee requests the Government to provide information in its next report on the areas of the public service in which collective bargaining cannot take place, the categories of workers who cannot exercise this right and the applicable legal provisions (if possible, translated into English or French).

The Committee also requests the Government to supply the texts of the amendments made in 1995 and 1996 to Act No. XXII of 1992 respecting the Labour Code and to Act No. XXXIII of 1992 on the legal status of public employees (if possible, in English or French).

Finally, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the guarantees provided by the Convention are applicable in the armed forces and the police and, if so, to indicate the appropriate legal provisions.
