The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

The Committee had noted that no collective agreements have been negotiated and that the Labour Advisory Committee, provided for in section 230 of the Labour Code, which has a role in collective bargaining, was set up by Decree No. 97-101/PRES/PM/METSS/MET of 12 March 1997. The Committee asked the Government to send a copy of the Decree and to state whether any collective agreements had been concluded under the aegis of the (tripartite) advisory committee since it was set up. The Committee hoped that it would be in a position to note that progress had been made in collective bargaining in the near future.

Furthermore, the Committee again asked the Government to indicate whether there was any provision in laws or regulations for the settlement of collective labour disputes concerning employees in public services, enterprises and establishments not covered by the Labour Code and, if so, to send it copies of these texts.
