Further to its observation, the Committee 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:

1. In its previous comments, the Committee referred to Decree No. 100/003 of 3 January 1990 and Presidential Decrees Nos. 1/106 of 25 October 1967 (section 43) and No. 1/111 of 10 November 1967 (section 44), on the conditions governing the retirement of certain persons in the service of the State (recipients of fellowships and trainees; and officers in the armed forces, respectively). The Committee hopes that the current legislative work will make it possible to set out in law the right of persons in the service of the State to leave their employment at their own initiative within a reasonable period, or with previous notice, and that persons who have received a fellowship or are undergoing training at the expense of the State can leave the service in the reasonable period which is proportional to the duration of the training received or following reimbursement of the expenditure incurred by the State.

2. The Committee noted that by virtue of section 2 of the new Labour Code, civic legal obligations which are of public interest are not considered to be forced or compulsory labour.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the nature of these obligations and the corresponding texts.
