Further to its preceding direct request, the Committee notes with interest that a new Regulation on Labour Safety and Health will contain a provision establishing a system of eight-hour workdays and not more than 48-hour work-weeks. The Committee recalls, as discussed in paragraphs 115 through 117 of its 1984 General Survey on Working Time, that the Convention does not provide for any specific method of application but requires ratifying Members to bring its provisions into operation and to take such action as may be necessary to make them effective. Accordingly, the Committee hopes the next report will include full information, as requested in the report form approved by the Governing Body, indicating the action taken to give effect to the Convention, and the progress achieved in making more explicit requirements concerning weekly rest periods through the envisaged unified legislation on weekly rest in industrial enterprises. Please provide a copy of any new legislation adopted.
