1. The Committee notes the detailed information sent by the Government in June 2000 and September 2003 relating to the observation made in 1999.

2. Parts I and II of the Convention. Improvement of standards of living. The Committee notes the information submitted in September 2003 on the measures adopted by the Agricultural Development Institute. The Committee would be grateful if the Government’s next report included updated information on the way in which it is ensured that the "improvement of standards of living" is regarded as the "principal objective in the planning of economic development" (Article 2 of the Convention) and provided details of the results achieved for the promotion of productive capacity and the improvement of standards of living of agricultural producers (Article 4).

3. Part III. Migrant workers. In its 2003 report, the Government indicated that approximately 365,000 people had qualified for residency and that a comprehensive migration policy and a new general draft law on migration had been envisaged. Since it is difficult to prevent abusive practices relating to migrant workers and their families, the Committee would be grateful if the Government’s next report could include updated information on the measures adopted to protect migrant workers.
