The Committee notes the Government's report received on 25 November 1999. It also notes the observations by the Korea Employers' Federation and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions.

In its observations the Korea Employers' Federation points out the inspector's function of technical information and advice needs to be reinforced through specific training or educational programmes (Article 3 of the Convention). In addition, the federation, referring to the current activities of the Industrial Safety and Health Policy Deliberation Committee focusing on reviewing documents and reports in writing, indicates that the said committee needs to direct its activities toward in-depth discussions, coordination and cooperation among its tripartite members (Article 5). The Federation of Korean Trade Unions for its part points to the low proportion of women in the labour inspection staff (59 women out of 711 labour inspectors). Noting that women account for 41 per cent of the employees, the federation stresses the need for the Government to make further efforts to increase the number of women inspectors (Article 8).

The Committee will examine at its next session the information provided by the Government in its report in answer to its 1998 direct request as well as any comments the Government may wish to formulate on the issues raised by the Korea Employers' Federation and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions.
