The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report in reply to its earlier comments and concerning Articles 3, 6 and 11(1)(b) of the Convention.

Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Annual Report of the Labour Department, 1987, that the labour inspectorate discharges other duties than those referred to in the Convention, including arbitration and conciliation. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate what measures are taken to ensure that any additional duties entrusted to labour inspectors do not interfere with the effective discharge of their primary duties.

Article 7, paragraph 3. The Committee notes the linguistic abilities needed by inspectors and the training mentioned in the report. Please describe measures taken to ensure that labour inspectors are adequately trained, particularly in more specialised areas such as occupational safety and health, which directly relate to their ability to perform their primary functions.

Article 13. The Committee recalls the arrangements earlier described by the Government as regards the power of inspectors to order measures with immediate executory force. It would be glad if the Government would indicate the procedures currently followed in this respect, as well as any difficulties encountered and further regulation of the matter considered necessary.

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the annual report of the Labour Department for 1987 does not contain all the information required under the Convention, in particular, statistics of violations and penalties imposed and of industrial accidents and occupational diseases (Article 21(e),(f) and (g)). It hopes that in future, reports will be completed by the inclusion of information on all the subjects set out in Article 21 and that they will be published and transmitted to the ILO within the time-limits set forth in Article 20.
