Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2005, publiée 95ème session CIT (2006)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s report and the annual reports on the activities of the Labour Department for 1998, 2000 and 2002.

Articles 26 and 27 of the Convention. While noting with interest the information included in the annual reports on the activities of the Ministry of Labour on inspection in agricultural enterprises and the data on employment accidents in agriculture provided by the Government, the Committee once again emphasizes the importance, from both a national and an international point of view, of the publication and communication to the ILO of an annual report of the activities of the labour inspectorate. It therefore once again hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures in practice to ensure that the central inspection authority fulfils this obligation set out in the Convention. In this respect, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the various forms that the report may take in accordance with Article 26, while emphasizing the need to include information that is as detailed as possible on each of the items covered by Article 27, with specific reference to the agricultural sector.

The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government on another point.
