The Committee notes the information provided with the Government’s report, including the reply to its previous comments. With reference to these comments and the discussion which took place in the Committee on the Application of Standards at the 91st Session of the International Labour Conference in 2003, it observes that technical assistance to bring national legislation on hours of work and rest periods in road transport into conformity with the Convention has been requested once again. While it notes that previously granted assistance had remained without substantial results, the Committee reiterates its hope that, with renewed assistance from the Office, the Government will undertake every effort to make progress in adapting its legislation to the Convention on the matters referred to in its previous observations. It requests the Government to provide information in this respect in its next report.

[The Government is requested to report in detail in 2005.]
