1. Modernization of the employment service. Cooperation with the social partners. With reference to the comments that it has been making for many years, the Committee notes with interest the new regulations and the establishment of the National Employment Placement Council, which is tripartite in composition. In 2004, tripartite committees were established dealing with the surveillance of the labour market, the assessment of employment exchanges and the national employment system. During the period 2000-04, the Ministry of Labour and Social Security concluded agreements with municipal authorities with a view to the decentralization of employment services with the active participation of local governments and representatives of civil society. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the measures adopted to ensure the efficient operation of the free public employment service, with the cooperation of the social partners and comprising a network of employment offices sufficient in number to meet the needs of employers and workers throughout the country (Articles 1 to 5 of the Convention).

2. Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical information in its next report on the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices (Part IV of the report form).
