The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its latest reports. It notes in particular the information concerning the draft Decree on general hygiene and safety measures, which, according to the Government, give effect to Articles 14 and 18 of the Convention concerning suitable seats for workers and measures to be taken to reduce noise and vibration at the workplace, on which the Committee has been commenting for more than 20 years. It also notes that, according to the Government, it has not been possible to finalize the draft Decree owing to last-minute technical problems, although in its report for 1992 the Government indicated that the draft had already been submitted to the President of the Republic for signing. The Committee notes in this connection that, according to the Government, the Ministry of Labour office in charge of occupational medicine, hygiene and safety has assumed new powers in the area of human resources in order to deal with these technical problems, which still exist. The Committee therefore expresses the hope that in the near future the problems preventing the adoption of the draft Decree will be overcome so that the legislative process may be completed and full effect given to the Convention.
