The Committee notes the Government’s statement that no significant changes have been registered during the reporting period concerning the application of the Convention in national law and practice. It also notes the Government’s indication that a labour law reform is currently under way in consultation with the employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any possible changes which may be introduced in the implementing legislation (for instance, the possible revision of the US$5,000 limit for the exemption of low-expenditure public contracts from the scope of the Convention).

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the Government has submitted information on the practical application of the Convention for the last time in 1987. It would therefore appreciate receiving up-to-date information on the application of the Convention in practice, including copies of recent public contracts containing labour clauses, statistics on the number of public contracts awarded and the average number of workers concerned, extracts from inspection reports and any other particulars which would enable the Committee to evaluate the conformity of national law and practice with the requirements of the Convention.
