The Committee notes the Government’s brief report in answer to its previous comments. It also notes the observation by the Union of Autonomous Workers’ Organizations of Comoros (USATC) concerning the application of the Convention, and the Government’s reply.

According to the Government’s report, the human resources of the labour inspectorate fall far short of the Convention’s requirements based on the criteria set out in Article 10 of the Convention. Of the three inspectors working in Grande Comore, only one is qualified, and the inspector serving in the Mohéli region has no means of communicating with the central management in Moroni, so his service is virtually unoperational. In its observation in response to the Government’s report, the USATC asks the Government to endeavour to provide at least a minimum inspection service and expresses the hope that trade union capability in terms of international labour standards and social security matters will be strengthened. The Committee notes that, for its part, the Government is hoping to receive ILO technical assistance in order to strengthen the organizational capabilities of the labour administration and to improve the training of labour inspectors and the social partners. It also notes that in its general report on ratified Conventions the Government attributes the labour inspectorate’s lack of resources to the economic difficulties the country has been facing for several years, and reiterates its request to the ILO for technical assistance. The Committee invites the Government to take appropriate steps to gather and send to the ILO all available information on the legislation and on the labour inspectorate’s human and material sources, and to indicate what public and, if any, private bodies are directly involved or cooperate in labour inspection.
