While inviting the Government to refer to the direct request under the Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26), the Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide detailed information in its next report on the manner in which this Convention is applied in the agricultural sector, taking into account the specific conditions obtaining in agriculture.
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:

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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:
See under Convention No. 26, as follows:
The Committee notes the detailed information provided in the Government's report in reply to its previous comments and concerning in particular the following points: (i) participation by employers and workers in the wage-fixing machinery; (ii) the provisions, procedures and sanctions that can be applied in cases where a wage below the guaranteed minimum wage (SMIG) is paid; and (iii) the monitoring by the labour inspection services of the application of minimum wage provisions.
With reference to its previous comments, the Committee requests the Government to clarify whether the draft Labour Code, which has been debated by the Assembly since 1992, has been adopted, and, if so, to provide a copy of the text.
The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to establish an effective system for monitoring the application of minimum wage provisions, in accordance with Article 4 of the Convention, read in conjunction with Article 5 and point V of the report form.
Finally, the Committee, while taking note of the difficulties faced by the Government in providing statistics on the number and different categories of workers covered by the minimum wage regulations, would be grateful if the Government would provide these data when resources permit.
The Committee notes 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 following matters raised in its previous direct request:
The Committee notes that the Government referred to the draft Labour Code which has been transmitted to the Office and which was at that time under discussion by the National Assembly. It notes that section 141 of this draft Code, which concerns in particular the fixing of the guaranteed minimum inter-occupational wage by means of decrees, does not provide for consultation with employers and workers. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the appropriate measures to ensure, in conformity with Article 3, paragraph 2(2), of the Convention, that employers and workers are associated in the operation of minimum wage fixing machinery.
The Committee also requests the Government to supply information on the measures which have been taken to ensure that the wages which are actually paid are not less than the statutory minimum wage and that workers to whom the statutory minimum wage is applicable and who have been paid wages at less than these rates are entitled to recover the amount by which they have been underpaid, in accordance with the provisions of Article 4.
The Committee also requests the Government to supply information on the results of the application of methods for fixing minimum wages, and particularly the approximate numbers of workers covered by the regulations, the minimum rates of wages fixed, and the more important of the other conditions, if any, established relevant to the minimum wages, as required by Article 5.
The Committee notes that the Government refers in its report to the draft Labour Code which has been transmitted to the Office and which is currently under discussion by the National Assembly. It notes that section 141 of this draft Code, which concerns in particular the fixing of the guaranteed minimum inter-occupational wage by means of decrees, does not provide for consultation with employers and workers. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the appropriate measures to ensure, in conformity with Article 3, paragraph 2(2), of the Convention, that employers and workers are associated in the operation of minimum wage fixing machinery.
