1. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2003. It would appreciate continuing to receive information on the activities of the National Council for Tripartite Consultations including particulars of the consultations held during the period covered by the next report on each of the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.

2. Financing of training. In reply to its previous direct request, the Government indicates that there is no information on arrangements made for financing training of participants in the consultative procedures. If training of the participants in the consultations covered by the Convention has been considered necessary, the Committee invites the Government to include in its future reports information on such arrangements (Article 4, paragraph 2).

3. Operation of the consultative procedures. The Committee notes that no annual report has been issued yet on the operation of the procedures provided for in the Convention. It hopes that in its next report the Government would give particulars of the consultations that have taken place with the representative organizations on "the working of the procedures provided for in the Convention" (Article 6).
