Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. Annual report on labour inspection activities. Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government concerning the legal texts on the prosecution of reported violations in respect of conditions of work and the protection of workers. However, it notes with regret that the Government has still not taken measures to give effect to Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention, which establish the obligation for the central authority to publish an annual report on the work of the inspection services under its control and to provide a copy of it to the ILO. In these circumstances, the Committee does not have the necessary means to assess the operation of the labour inspection system and to evaluate the extent to which the Convention is applied in law and practice. Noting the Government’s commitment to provide the ILO at the end of 2010 with a report containing the data and statistics covered by Article 21 and observing that such a report has not been provided, the Committee requests the Government to do so in the very near future, and also to ensure that the report is published, and to provide information on the measures adopted for this purpose, the results achieved and the difficulties encountered.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2011.]
