The Committee refers the Government to its observation and notes with interest that in future, the annual activities report will contain a special section on activities in the sectors covered by Convention No. 129.

It hopes that all possible information will be supplied in full on the items listed in Article 27 of the Convention and on any other questions concerning the operation of the labour inspectorate in agricultural enterprises.

Noting that the number of occupational accidents in agriculture and pearl farming remains high, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would give a breakdown of these accidents between agriculture, fishing and pearl farming and, if possible, indicate the nature and cause of such accidents, reporting to the ILO any measure to improve safety at work in the agricultural sector or any obstacles encountered in this area.
