The Committee notes the Government’s report and the attached documents. It notes Decree No. 372 of 26 November 1999 regulating conditions of employment in regard to occupational safety, hygiene and health in the forestry sector. Noting the information that section 289 of Act No. 15 on penalties applicable to violation of the legal provisions relating to work was amended by section 412 of Act No. 16-736 of 5 January 1996, the Committee requests the Government to also supply a copy of this text.

Article 6 of the Convention.  Noting that labour inspectors in agriculture perform the same duties as those assigned to them in other sectors, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether, as provided by Article 6(2), it is envisaged to give them, in agriculture, advisory or enforcement functions regarding legal provisions relating to the living conditions of workers and their families.

Article 10.  The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether special duties are assigned to women inspectors as provided in this Article and, if so, in what particular spheres.

Articles 26 and 27.  The Committee notes the statistical data on inspection visits and the number of workers covered for 1996 and 1997 by sector of activity. It notes, however, that the last annual inspection report supplied to the ILO concerns the year 1992. The Government is requested to indicate whether annual reports on the work of the inspection services in agriculture, with the form and content prescribed in the provisions of the Convention, have been published since then and, if so, to send a copy to the ILO; if not, the Committee requests the Government to take all appropriate measures to this end and to provide information on their results.
