The Committee notes the information in the Government’s report and requests it to supply particulars on the following points.

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes that in accordance with sections 9 and 10 of Decree No. 56 of 28 February 1969 on procedures for application of weekly rest entitlement derogations may be granted without compensatory periods of rest for certain urgent work and in industries handling perishable goods. The Government is requested to indicate in its next report all measures taken or contemplated to ensure that, as far as possible, provision is made for compensatory periods of rest for workers in such circumstances or to communicate the agreements or local usage which already provide for such rest, in accordance with this provision of the Convention.

Article 7. In its report, the Government indicates that application of this Article of the Convention is possible only subsequent to checks by the inspections services for which reports are not available. The Committee recalls that the Government has a duty to ensure that each employer, director or manager is obliged to fulfil the requirements of the Convention in regard to making known to the whole of the staff the weekly rest days, either by means of notices posted conspicuously or by posting a roster where the rest period is not granted to the whole of the staff collectively. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or contemplated to enable the inspection services to perform their duties effectively.
