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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest, that the ILO's technical assistance has helped the Government in adopting a new Labour Code on 29 June 1996. It notes however that, due to numerous difficulties, the Labour Advisory Commission has not been able to meet to examine the 1982 draft safety and health rules in the use of machinery. The Committee notes further that the 1982 draft rules will serve the General Inspectorate of Health at Work in its elaboration of the implementing rules provided for in section 132 of the new Labour Code.

The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to enable the Advisory Commission to meet shortly and finalize the said safety and health rules, based on the 1982 draft and taking into account the Committee's previous comments on them.

2. The Committee notes that the Government's report does not reply to its previous comments concerning the absence to date of measures that ensure the application of Articles 2 and 4 of the Convention (prohibition of the sale, hire, transfer in any other manner and exhibition of machines which must be guarded; formal designation of the persons on whom rests the obligation to apply this prohibition), Article 10 (information and instructions to be given to workers) and Article 11 (prohibition on using a machine without the protective guards being in position and operative). The Committee hopes that the adoption of the above-cited safety and health rules will permit the application of these Articles of the Convention.
