With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction the adoption of Act No. 90-14 of 2 June 1990 respecting the procedures for exercising the right to organise and Act No. 90-11 of 21 April 1990 respecting labour relations, which put an end to the single trade union system and introduced the possibility of trade union pluralism. The Government indicates in its report that many independent organisations of workers and employers have been established since the adoption of these texts.

The Committee also notes the adoption of Act No. 90-02 of 6 February 1990 respecting the prevention and settlement of collective labour disputes and the exercise of the right to strike, which authorises strike action in both the public and private sectors.

The Committee is addressing a request for information concerning other points directly to the Government.
