Articles 12(1)(a), (2) and 15(c) of the Convention. Restrictions on labour inspectors’ powers. The Committee notes that the Government, in relation to the issues raised in the Committee’s previous comments concerning restrictions of labour inspectors’ powers in national law that were recognized by the Government to be in violation of Articles 12(1)(a), (2) and 15(c) of the Convention, refers to a bill that provides for the amendment of those provisions of Act No. 877-V of 2007 concerning the fundamental principles of state supervision in the area of economic activity, which are not in conformity with the Convention; in addition, the State Labour Inspectorate (SLI) has made proposals on this bill. The Committee further notes that the Government indicates that Order No. 502 of May 2009 concerning temporary restrictions on state supervision activities in the area of economic activity was only applicable until 31 December 2010 and that it did not affect the activities of the SLI. The Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of the progress made with the amendment of Act No. 877-V of 2007 with a view to bringing it into conformity with the Convention, and to provide a copy of this law in its amended version once these amendments have been adopted, if possible in one of the working languages of the Office.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
