Article 1(1) of the Convention. Scope of application: agricultural sector. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the information provided by the Government that, pursuant to Council of Ministers Resolution No. 105/2004, the review of the occupational safety and health legislation applicable to the agricultural sector was to be completed by the end of October 2004.
