It once again requests the Government to communicate the relevant information.

The Committee requests the Government to specify the national legislation or regulations referred to and to communicate a copy of these texts.

It requests the Government to provide detailed information on the height and strength of hatchways beyond which the precautionary measures prescribed by the Convention must be assured. The Government is also requested to indicate the provisions concerning the designation of a responsible person charged with ensuring that the measures set forth in this paragraph are carried out.

4. Article 33. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken to give effect to this Article. Given that section 171, paragraph 1, of the Labour Code provides that a ministerial decree shall determine that the general measures of protection with respect to, in particular, noise, the Committee requests the Government to communicate a copy of this text as soon as it is adopted.

5. Article 36.
