The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report and the attached documentation, in particular Deliberation No. 74 of 21 August 1997 amending Deliberation No. 136/CP of 1 March 1967 on public contracts regulations, and Deliberation No. 75 of 21 August 1997 establishing a public contracts observatory for the construction and public works sector.

However, the Committee notes that for several years the reports communicated by the Government have failed to contain information on the practical application of the Convention as requested in Parts III, IV and V of the report form. The Committee therefore asks the Government to supply all available information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for instance, extracts from inspection reports and reports of the newly established public contracts observatory, statistics on the number of workers covered by relevant legislation, the number and nature of violations recorded and penalties imposed, etc.
