The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its first report. It asks the Government to provide information on the following points:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the provisions of the Convention and the standards established by the ILO are being considered, and asks the Government to state, for each of the Articles of Part II of the Convention, the standards and guidelines followed and the reasons for any departures from them.

Article 3. Please state the measures taken or proposed to consult the organisations of employers and workers in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used in respect of the statistics covered by the Articles of Part II of the Convention.

Article 6. Please indicate the steps taken or proposed to produce and publish methodological descriptions of the statistics covered by the Articles (except for Article 12) of Part II of the Convention, and to communicate them to the ILO (except for Article 15).

Article 9. The Committe notes that the coverage of the statistics of hours of work and wages is limited to wage earners in manufacturing, and asks the Government to state the steps taken or contemplated to extend it to other important categories of workers and to other important branches of economic activity.

Articles 10 and 11. The Committee notes the Government's statement in the report that neither statistics of the structure and distribution of wages nor those of labour costs are compiled at present but that they could be compiled from the results of specific surveys. It asks the Government to indicate the measures taken or contemplated to compile these statistics.

Article 12. The Committee notes that the consumer price index is computed using the weights which represent the consumption pattern for the period 1976-77. Please state whether there is a plan to review these weights.

Article 14. The Committee notes the Government's indication that data on work accidents are published annually, and asks the Government to provide more explicit information on the coverage of the statistics, in terms of persons and types of work accidents.

Article 17. The Committee notes the Government's statement in its first report that the coverage of the statistics ("Encuesta de Hogares de Propósitos Múltiples") giving effect to Articles 7, 8 and 13 is limited to certain geographical areas (to the Metropolitan Area of San Salvador or to urban areas, according to the year). Please state, in future reports, steps taken or proposed to extend it to other geographical areas.
