Referring to its previous comments the Committee notes the Government's information in its report that section 16 of the Defence Service Law has been replaced as from 16 September 1985 by a new section 21. Under section 21(a) the Minister of Defence may, with the consent of the Defence and Foreign Affairs Committee of the Parliament, make regulations, prescribing that a period not exceeding the first 12 months of regular military service shall be devoted, after basic military training, to agriculture or other pioneering training. Under section 21(b) the Minister of Defence may by such regulations also prescribe the branches of the economy in which training may be considered as agricultural or pioneering training, and the arrangements and rules of conduct prevailing during such training. The Committee also notes the Government's indication that no regulations have been promulgated and that there is no intention of issuing such regulations in the foreseen future.

The Committee requests the Government to provide in its future reports information on the adoption of any regulations under section 21 of the Law.
