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:

Publication of an annual report. The Committee notes the brief information contained in the Government’s report which, for the most part, refers to labour inspection progress reports which the Office has not received. The Committee notes moreover a communication received on 19 September 2005, in which the Djibouti Labour Union (UDT) and the General Union of Workers of Djibouti (UGTD) have transmitted their comments on the application of the Convention, that has been forwarded to the Government. The Committee invites the Government to include in its next report its comments on this communication, which principally focuses on the staff and material means available to the labour inspection system. Moreover, the Committee recalls that, since the entry into force of the Convention over 25 years ago, the Government has never transmitted the annual report which, pursuant to Article 20 of the Convention, shall be published by the central inspection authority within a reasonable time and transmitted to the International Labour Office. The Committee trusts that the Government will soon be in a position to report on the real progress made concerning the regular publication of the required annual report.
