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 mattters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes with regret that the brief information provided by the Government in reply to its previous request shows that no active policy for the promotion of employment is being implemented. While it is aware of the difficulties raised by the application of the structural adjustment programme, the Committee observes that the situation described by the Government requires the formulation of an employment policy designed to alleviate the negative impact of the adjustment measures on employment and standard of living. It hopes that the Government will be able to supply in its next report indications on the steps taken to this effect and that it will contact the competent multidisciplinary ILO team in order to obtain the necessary advice with a view to designing and implementing the policies and measures required by the Convention.
