The Committee notes the Government's report as well as the information it communicated to the Conference Committee in June 1995 and the discussion which ensued on that occasion.

The Committee notes with interest the amendments introduced by Act No. 95-15 of 12 January 1995 establishing a Labour Code. In particular, it notes that section 82-11 of the Code restricts the powers of the President of the Republic to submit a collective difference to compulsory arbitration to cases in which it is admissible to interrupt or prohibit a strike in accordance with the principles of freedom of association (essential services the interruption of which would endanger the life, personal safety or health of the whole or part of the population or in cases of acute national crises).

The Committee requests the Government to send with its next report a copy of communication No. 00321/EFPPS/DERT of 4 March 1996 and circular No. 0322/EFPPS/DERT of 4 March concerning the abolition of prior agreement for establishing trade unions.
