The Committee has noted the Government's first reports. It requests the Government to supply further information on the Civil Code (Chapter V of which is mentioned in the first report) and the Civil Procedure Code as regards the priority of satisfaction accorded thereunder to workers' claims arising out of the labour relationship, including the text of relevant provisions.

Article 1, paragraph 3, of the Convention. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate the extent of the employers' responsibility in the insolvency proceedings, for instance if the employers' personal goods are not attachable by virtue of company law.

Article 3, paragraph 2. The Committee recalls that Lithuania has accepted the obligations of Part II of the Convention at the time of ratification. It notes that the Government has made a decision to establish a fund to meet the claims of employees of bankrupt enterprises related to the employment relationship. The Committee recalls the possibility under this provision of extending the acceptance to Part III, once such a fund has been established.

The Committee would be grateful to the Government for information on the application in practice of the Convention in accordance with point IV of the report form.
