The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s first report and observes that its content is identical to the report on the application of Convention No. 81. The Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the need to prepare a different report for each of the two Conventions, without however excluding the possibility of mutual referencing between the two reports concerning information relating to both labour inspection in industrial and commercial undertakings and in agricultural enterprises. Indeed, while there is a great similarity between the provisions of the two instruments, their respective specificities should nevertheless be noted and it should be ensured that relevant information is provided to the Office under article 22 of the Constitution of the ILO. The same distinction should be made with regard to the annual inspection report due from the central inspection authority, the publication and contents of which are established, respectively, in Articles 20 and 21 of Convention No. 81 and Articles 26 and 27 of the present Convention.

The Government is therefore requested to provide a detailed report on the manner in which effect is given in specific terms to each of the provisions of the Convention in reply to the requests contained in the corresponding report form, and to ensure that information on each of the items set out in Article 27 is contained in the annual report, which should be prepared either separately or as part of a general report on labour inspection in the various economic sectors.
