Application of the Convention in law and in practice. The Government reiterates in its report that the Private Employment Agencies Act and the Labour Exchange Act were prepared by a ministerial commission in 2008 in which representatives of employers and workers were invited to participate, and that the purpose of the proposed legislation is to implement the Convention and its accompanying Recommendation (No. 188). The Government adds that, following the submission of the draft legislative texts to the Council of Ministers and to the State Council, the legislative texts were submitted to the National Assembly for approval. The Government further indicates that the draft legislative texts contain protections relevant to the application of Articles 6, 7 and 10–13 of the Convention. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the legislative review will soon be completed and requests the Government to provide copies of the legislation once it is adopted. In this regard, the Committee refers to its previous comments and requests the Government to provide detailed information on the application of Articles 6, 7 and 10–13 of the Convention, as well as information on the conditions governing the operation of private employment agencies (Article 3(2)). The Committee also requests the Government to provide a general appreciation on the manner in which the Convention is applied in the country, including, for example, extracts from inspection reports, information on the number of workers covered by the measures giving effect to the Convention and the number and nature of infringements reported.
