Referring also to its observation and to the Government’s reports for the period ending May 2001, the Committee requests the Government to supply supplementary information on the following points.

Article 16 of the Convention. Noting the information on decentralization of labour services, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the impact of this decentralization on the frequency and quality of inspection visits.

Article 7. Noting with interest the information on the many training activities conducted for the benefit of inspection staff, particularly with ILO cooperation at national level and at the Turin Training Centre, the Committee requests the Government to continue to supply regular information on in-service training for labour inspectors, particularly in regard to the spheres to which it relates, the number of inspectors involved and the periodicity of training cycles.

Articles 8 and 10. Noting the recruitment of five inspectors in 2000 as well as the announcement that 15 new work supervisors trained at the Ecole nationale d’administration et de magistrature (ENAM)will shortly be available, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the evolution in staff numbers in the labour inspectorate and their geographical distribution, to indicate the proportion of women in each category and to state whether special duties are assigned to men and women inspectors respectively as suggested in Article 8.
