With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's assurances in its report that the list of essential services referred to in section 342 of the Labour Code will be fully consistent with the principles of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the above list will limit the public authorities' powers to resort to compulsory arbitration to cases in which the interruption of work owing to a strike would be likely to endanger the life, personal safety or health of the whole or part of the population, and once again asks the Government to provide a copy of the list now being prepared so that it can examine its scope.

The Committee also notes the observations made by the General Union of Guinean Workers (UGTG) on 8 October 1992 criticizing the fact that the Government has not brought the content of the Convention to the notice of Guinean workers and that the latter cannot, in practice, join unions of their own choosing or form organizations outside the existing trade union structure which is subordinated to the party in power.

The Committee asks the Government to include its observations on the points raised by the UGTG in its next report.
