The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report. It requests it to provide additional information on the following matters.

Articles 7, paragraph 2, and 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Further to its previous comments on the practice of concluding agreements providing for the possibility of obtaining monetary compensation instead of compensatory rest, the Committee notes with interest that according to section 45 of the new consolidated Working Environment Act, which will enter into force as of 1 January 2006, any deviation from the rules concerning rest time must be compensated by proportional rest period or day off, and may never imply more than 12 days and nights between two rest days. The Committee requests the Government to transmit the text of the new Working Environment Act and of the revised executive order on rest periods and days off, which is also scheduled to take effect on 1 January 2006. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in future reports whether any permanent or temporary exceptions regarding weekly rest have been granted by the National Working Environment Authority and, if so, to specify whether the responsible associations of employers and workers have been duly consulted, as required under these Articles of the Convention.

Article 10 and Parts III and V of the report form. Recalling the Government’s statement in earlier reports that due to the limited number of inspection staff, it is difficult to ensure the effective control of weekly rest legislation, the Committee requests the Government to provide up-to-date information on the organization and functioning of inspection services in matters related to the Convention. It also requests the Government to supply general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for instance, statistics on the number of workers covered by the relevant legislation, and any difficulties encountered in implementing the measures and conditions prescribed by the Convention.
