The Committee notes with regret 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:

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee notes that, under section 3 of the Labour Act (Act No. 2/1990), the Labour Act  applies to all undertakings, enterprises or establishments in the national territory. However, under section 4 of the Labour Act, the work of public officials is excluded from its scope of application and covered by special regulations. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether public industrial establishments are covered by Act No. 2/1990 and, if not, to provide a copy of the regulations on hours of work applicable to them. Furthermore, section 48(4) of the Labour Act provides that the daily and weekly limits on hours of work do not apply to persons performing duties which, by their nature, do not involve fixed working days. The Committee requests the Government to provide more specific information on the categories of workers so excluded.
