The Committee notes the information supplied in the Government's report in reply to its previous comments.

Article 3, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement that adjustments to the guaranteed national minimum wage (SNMG) have on each occasion been preceded by consultations with the representatives of the Government, workers' organizations and the most representative employers' organizations in both the public and the private sectors.

The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate the extent to which the representation of employers and workers is ensured on a basis of complete equality in the framework of the determination of the SNMG.

Article 5 and point V of the report form. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the concept of a minimum wage in agriculture no longer exists in the country since the establishment of a guaranteed national minimum wage to replace the guaranteed minimum agricultural wage (SMAG) and the guaranteed minimum interoccupational wage (SMIG). It requests the Government to supply general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in the agricultural sector, including for instance: (i) the current SNMG; (ii) the statistical data available on the number and categories of workers covered by minimum wage regulations; and (iii) the results of inspections carried out (including the violations reported, penalties imposed, etc.).
