The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report, in particular the fact that the Convention is implemented in national law by means of the Merchant Marine Code and by the UDEAC Merchant Marine Code of 1994. It asks the Government to send a copy of the text of the latter. It would also be grateful if the Government would provide additional information on the following point.

Article 12 of the Convention. The Government indicates in its report that seafarers taking annual leave may be recalled in the event of an "exceptionally heavy workload". The Committee reiterates that under the terms of the Convention seafarers taking annual leave shall be recalled only in cases of extreme emergency, with due notice. The Committee asks the Government to indicate the provisions of national law implementing this Article of the Convention and hopes that, if appropriate, any measures necessary to bring national law into conformity with the Convention on this point will be adopted in the very near future.
