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 that the Government’s report contains no information in relation to Parts III and IV of the report form. It notes the comments of the Czech‑‑Moravian Confederation of Trade Unions (CMKOS), received at the ILO on 25 October 2004 and forwarded to the Government on 1 November 2004, on the application of the Convention. While welcoming the provisions of the new Employment Act in so far as they reflect significant strengthening of active employment policy tools, the CMKOS fears that labour offices may become responsible for other areas of labour policy to the detriment of their core activities, in an environment marked by an alarming rate of unemployment. The Committee notes the short response of the Government. It requests the Government to provide detailed information on the reasons underlying its position.

The Committee will examine at its next appropriate session the information previously requested, together with any information the Government will provide in relation to the comments by the CMKOS.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2010.]
