1. Parts I and II of the Convention. Improvement of standards of living. The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. The Committee notes the reference to Convention No. 117 in the observations by the Dockers’ Trade Union of Asunción (SEMA) and the Maritime Workers League of Paraguay (LOMP), sent to the Government in May 2005, concerning the application of Convention No. 98. The Committee refers to its direct request of 2001 on Convention No. 117 and requests the Government to send an up-to-date appreciation of the manner in which it is ensured that "improvement in standards of living" has been regarded as the "principle objective in the planning of economic development" (Article 2) and to provide information on the results achieved in combating poverty. The Committee reminds the Government that, according to the Convention, in order to ascertain minimum standards of living for independent producers and wage earners, "account shall be taken of such essential family needs of the workers as food and its nutritive value, housing, clothing, medical care and education" (Article 5, paragraph 2).

2. Part III. Migrant workers. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on migration movements in the country and on the measures taken to give effect to Articles 6 and 7 of the Convention.

3. Part VI. Education and training. Please indicate the measures that have been taken for the progressive development of education, vocational training and apprenticeship and the manner in which the teaching of new production techniques has been organized as part of the social policy giving effect to the Convention (Articles 15 and 16).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2006.]
