With reference to its observation, the Committee requests the Government to supply additional information on the following points.

Article 2, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Government is requested to indicate the legal basis for the exemption of certain undertakings from the application of the Convention and to specify the undertakings or parts of undertakings exempted by virtue of section 7, paragraph 1(a), of Act No. 2639.

Article 3, paragraph 2. The Government is asked to indicate whether the functions ascribed by Presidential Decree No. 136 on the Organization of the Services of the Labour Inspectorate in its section 9, entitled "Mandate of the Social Inspection Directorate" are carried out by different public servants from those responsible for the principal functions set out in Article 3, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (c).

Article 8. The Government is asked to indicate the proportion of women within the labour inspection team responsible for the duties described in Article 3, paragraph 1, and the manner in which effect is given to this provision which specifies that, where necessary, special duties may be assigned to men and women inspectors.

Article 12, paragraphs 1(c)(iii) and 2. The Government is asked to provide information on the manner in which effect is given to these provisions.

Article 15. The Government is asked to indicate the legal provisions relative to labour inspectors' duties as defined by Article 15(a), (b) and (c).

Articles 20, paragraph 2, and 21. Having noted that according to the new legislation the central body responsible for labour inspection must transmit copies of the annual inspection reports to the ILO, the Committee recalls that, pursuant to Article 20, paragraph 2, these reports dealing with the subjects listed under Article 21 must also be published within a reasonable time after the end of the year to which they relate and in any case within 12 months. The Committee requests the Government to transmit copies of these reports regularly to the ILO and to indicate whether national legislation provides for the publication of these reports; if not, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would take the steps necessary to bring the legislation into conformity with this fundamental provision of the Convention and communicate information thereon.
