The Committee notes the comments of 10 August 2006 by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) referring to legislative matters already under examination by the Committee and to the application of the Convention in practice. The ICFTU reports that numerous unionized workers of a petroleum company were the subject of arrests and violence in September 2005. The Committee requests the Government to send its comments on this matter.

The Committee also asks the Government, in the context of the regular reporting cycle, to send for examination at its next session to be held in November-December 2007, its comments on all the matters raised in the observation of 2005 (see 2005 observation, 76th Session).
