The Committee notes 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 matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

In comments it has been making since 1987, the Committee noted that national laws and regulations were too general to give full effect to most of the provisions of the Convention, and that specific measures should therefore be taken to regulate the use of benzene and products containing benzene in accordance with the Convention.

The Committee noted the Government's indication in its report for 1992 that active consideration was still being given to the proposals for legislation concerning benzene, and that assistance from the ILO would be sought as soon as these proposals were accepted.

The Committee once again expresses the hope that - on the basis of the consideration referred to in the Government's report, if necessary with the technical assistance of the ILO in the preparation of regulations - the Government will adopt the specific measures necessary to give full effect to Articles 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, paragraph 1, Article 8, paragraph 1, Articles 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the Convention.

The Committee trusts that the next report will indicate the measures taken or envisaged in this regard.
