The Committee draws the attention of the Government to Resolution [I]1 concerning the Measurement of Working Time adopted by the 18th International Conference of Labour Statistics (ICLS) in November–December 2008, which defines new concepts and measures in this area of statistics (Article 9).

Article 12 of the Convention. Noting the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information required by the Yearbook questionnaires on consumer price indices and, in accordance with Article 6, the relevant methodological information.

Article 14. The Government indicated that the statistics and methodological information on their compilation are included in a publication attached to the report. However, this publication has not been received by the ILO and could not be found on the Internet. Also, the detailed description of the sources, concepts, definitions and methodology used to compile the statistics (required by Article 6) are not provided. The Committee requests the Government to provide the ILO with: (i) a copy of the publication “An Analysis of Industrial Accidents in 2008, Publication No. 11-1490000-000022-10”; (ii) Statistics of non-fatal injuries and the number of days lost for publication in the ILO Yearbook of Labour Statistics; and (iii) more detailed information on the methodology used to compile statistics on occupational diseases.

Article 15. The Committee requests the Government, once more, to indicate: (i) which of the international standards are used (in the context of Article 2); and (ii) which steps, if any, are envisaged to publish methodological information (Article 6).
