1. Part I of the report form and Article 6, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention. While noting that texts relating to the organization and operation of the labour inspection system in general are available at the ILO, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supplement this information by indicating the legal provisions on the conditions of work and the protection of agricultural workers which are relevant to the work of labour inspectors and describe the content thereof.

2. Article 9, paragraph 3. Further in-service training or labour inspectors in agriculture. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the content of the ten-day training course given to inspectors immediately after they have been recruited and to indicate whether, as required by this Article of the Convention, measures other than that of working under the guidance of an experienced inspector for one year are taken to ensure that they receive appropriate further in-service training in their employment.

3. Article 14. Number and geographical distribution of inspectors in agriculture. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the number and geographical distribution of inspectors in service who have received initial training with a view to carrying out their duties in the agricultural sector and to provide any other details of the criteria taken into consideration when determining this distribution.

4. Article 15, paragraphs 1(b) and 2, and Article 21. Frequency of inspections of agricultural undertakings. The Committee asks the Government to communicate information of a practical nature on the transport facilities available to inspectors for carrying out inspections of agricultural undertakings and on the distribution of inspections, whether planned or carried out in response to a complaint or information received.

5. Articles 26 and 27. Annual report on the work of the inspection services. The Committee notes that under section 8.10 of Order No. 20 of 2000 approving the regulations on the State Labour Inspectorate in the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, an annual report on matters relating to the inspectorate’s activities shall be published in the media. In its first report, the Government stated that a summary of the annual report was published in the newspaper Novaya Zhizn (“New Life”) and that the statistics required under Article 27 of the Convention were included in that report. The Committee notes, however, that such a report has not yet been sent to the ILO and therefore asks the Government to take the necessary steps to ensure that this is done, so that it can assess the practical aspects of the work of the labour inspection services in agriculture in relation to the requirements of the Convention.
