The Committee notes that the Government merely indicates in its report that no changes have taken place during the reporting period. However, it hopes that the Government will supply information in reply to its previous comments, which covered the following points.

1. Article 9, paragraph 3, of the Convention. Training of labour inspectors in agriculture. In its previous report, the Government indicated that the training of labour inspectors did not include any specialization in agriculture and that there was no specific further training for labour inspectors operating in regions where there are many agricultural undertakings. With reference to its comment under Convention No. 81 concerning the annual training plan for labour inspectors, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would take steps to remedy this deficiency by ensuring that initial specific training with regard to inspection in agricultural undertakings is given to inspectors who perform their duties in agricultural regions, and that this training is supplemented by in-service training. The Government is requested to supply information on any measure taken in this regard and on the progress made.

2. Article 15. Labour inspection resources in agriculture.Referring once again to the Government’s previous report regarding the inadequacy and unsuitability of resources in relation to needs, the Committee also refers to its report on Convention No. 81 containing information on improving the material resources of the Labour Inspectorate and requests the Government to take steps to identify the specific priority needs of inspection in agriculture in order to plan appropriate budgetary allocations, especially with regard to office premises, transport facilities and the reimbursement of labour inspectors’ travel costs related to their work.

3. Article 17. Preventive control of plant, substances and processes. The Committee noted that although the Labour Code makes provision for associating the services of the agricultural labour inspectorate in the preventive control of new plant, substances and processes which are likely to constitute a threat to health or safety, such controls are not widespread. It therefore requests the Government to take measures to extend the scope of such activity in practice and to keep the ILO informed.
