The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee notes Decree No. 86-154/PCMS/MTEP/SEM of 23 October 1986 containing the general conditions of service of employees in public industrial and commercial establishments, state enterprises and mixed-economy enterprises, and of the Decrees of 11 September 1986 approving the model conditions of service of public industrial and commercial establishments (Decree No. 86-0121/PCMS/MTEP/SEM), state enterprises (Decree No. 86-122/PCMS/MTEP/SEM) and mixed-economy enterprises (Decree No. 86-123/PCMS/SEM).

The Committee notes that under the terms of the Decrees of 11 September 1986, the board of directors of the establishments concerned is given broad powers regarding the remuneration of the staff in the establishments and that, under the terms of sections 7, 10 and 11 of Decree No. 86-154, the wage scale, allowances and bonuses can only be applied after approval by the competent minister.

The Committee notes that the staff of the establishments concerned enjoy the right to organise, in accordance with the provisions of the Labour Code under section 2 of Decree No. 86-154.

In these circumstances, the Committee requests the Government to supply information on the role played by the trade union organisations covering the workers in the above establishments in the process of determining wages and conditions of employment.
