Article 7. Determination of light work. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s indications that a draft decree determining the nature of light work and the conditions under which such employment or work may be undertaken was being drawn up.

The Committee notes that this draft text has not yet been adopted. The Committee once again hopes that the draft decree concerning light work will be adopted shortly and requests the Government to provide a copy of it with its next report.

Article 8. Artistic performances. In its previous comments, the Committee noted that the Order of the Ministry of Social Affairs of 19 January 2000 sets out the conditions for granting individual permits for the participation of children in public performances or cinematographic works, such as: the written consent of the guardian; certification by a specialized doctor of the physical and mental fitness of the child to perform the work; and participation in public performances or cinematographic works authorized by the competent authorities. In addition, the permit cannot be granted for participation in work that is hazardous or likely to be harmful to the development, morals or school attendance of the children, and the maximum duration of the actual work is two hours a day, while the duration of their presence is four hours a day. The Government has also indicated on several occasions that a copy of the Order determining the minimum age for the granting of individual permits would be forwarded to the Office once the text was adopted. Noting the absence of information in this regard, the Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the Order of the Ministry of Social Affairs of 19 January 2000.
