The Committee notes the Government’s report. Noting the information sent in reply to its previous comments, it would appreciate additional information on the following point.

Part IV of the report form (read in conjunction with Article 18 of the Convention). The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the draft decree on the protection of workers against noise has not yet been adopted. The Committee observes that as far back as 1992 the Government indicated in its report that the draft decree had just been formulated and submitted to the organizations of employers and workers for their comments. The Committee therefore trusts that the Government will be in a position to take all the necessary measures in the near future to adopt regulations protecting workers from noise. It requests the Government to provide a copy of the text as soon as it is adopted. Please also provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including for example information on the number of workers covered by the legislation in force and extracts from inspection reports indicating the number and nature of the violations reported and the sanctions imposed.
