The Committee notes with regret 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 following matters raised in its previous direct request.

The Committee requests the Government to include in its next report replies to the questions in the report form approved by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office, as well as details on the legislation or other measures ensuring the application of each of the Articles of Part II of the Convention and, in particular, the following Articles: 8 (ventilation of premises); 9 (lighting of premises); 10 (temperature of premises); 11 (layout of premises); and 16 (standards of hygiene in underground or windowless premises).

The Committee asks the Government to supply a copy of the provisions relating to the welfare of wage earners adopted by the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs under section 18 of Decree No. 6341 of 2 October 1951. It also requests the Government to provide information on the practical application of section 16(4) of this Decree, according to which the undertaking's physician has to take general measures to ensure the protection of health in work premises, particularly as regards safety, lighting, ventilation, circulation of air and supply of drinking water, rest facilities, and extraction of dust and smoke.

The Committee had noted that under section 10 of Decree No. 6341 the necessary measures are to be taken to enable women to be seated, whereas under Article 14 of the Convention, suitable seats should be supplied for all workers. It hopes the legislation will be brought into conformity with the Convention on this point.
