The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not reply to its previous comment. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

It recalls that its previous comments concerned the necessity to amend Legislative Decree No. 1/90 of 25 August 1967 on rural associations which imposes on agricultural workers certain obligations with regard to compulsory membership, compulsory contribution and the provision of agricultural or livestock products, all those obligations being contrary to the Convention.

The Committee had taken due note of the Government’s statement in its report for 1999, according to which the Decree in question was never applied since its promulgation. The Government also indicated that it was urgent to expressly repeal this Decree. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to forward it the repealing text as soon as it is adopted.

[The Government is asked to report in detail in 2001.]
