The Committee observes that the Government’s report does not reply to its previous comments. Noting the information in the labour inspectorate reports for the years 2000 and 2003 and the second half of 2000, and in the reports on occupational accidents in 2000 and 2001, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the following points.

Articles 10, 11 and 16 of the Convention. The Committee notes with concern that there are again reports of a lack of human and material resources in the labour inspection services. It notes in particular the scarcity of means of transport and office supplies and the poor state of repair of typewriters in the various regional offices. The Committee further notes the significant decline in the total number of inspections and workplaces inspected, from 2,496 in 2002 to 1,559 in 2003 and from 1,836 in 2002 to 1,417 in 2003, respectively. Stressing once again the social role of labour inspection, the Committee considers that when a country’s economic situation does not allow it to apply the provisions of the Convention adequately, government must be at pains to maintain and develop the resources of the inspectorate, for example, through support from international cooperation where possible. The Committee trusts that the Government will promptly take steps to this end and that it will provide relevant information in its next report.

The Committee raises other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
