The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

In its previous observation, the Committee noted that the regulations part of the draft Labour Code contained provisions to give effect to a certain number of provisions of the Convention which had not been applied by national legislation previously. The Committee had, however, noted that the draft communicated by the Government called for improvement on the following points: in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, provision should be made for the consultation of the most representative employers' and workers' organisations concerning the granting of temporary exemptions by labour inspectors under section 502 of the draft regulations; also, in accordance with Article 8, paragraph 1, measures needed to be taken to ensure adequate means of personal protection for workers who may have skin contact with liquid benzene or products containing benzene. The Committee noted the Government's statement in its report for the period ending 30 June 1989 that these comments had been taken into consideration in the latest draft of the regulations part of the Labour Code. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the amended draft will be adopted in the very near future and that, in its final form, it will give full effect to the Convention.
