With reference to its previous comment concerning the need to adopt legislative provisions in order to give full effect to Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention, the Committee notes from the information supplied by the Government that the work of revising Act 5/78 to issue the Labour Code are well under way.

The Committee points out that, even if, as it emphasised in its previous observation, the provisions of the Common Agreement cover the gaps identified in the law with regard to Article 1 of the Convention (and, according to the previous comments made by the Employers' Confederation of Gabon, all the agreements signed since 1982 have included these provisions), legislative provisions accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions need to be adopted in order to give workers adequate protection against acts of anti-union discrimination and workers' organisations protection against acts of interference by employers.

The Committee trusts that the work of revising the Labour Code will be completed in the near future and requests the Government to supply information on the measures that have been taken in order to bring the legislation into greater conformity with Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention.
