The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its latest report to the effect that no change has been made to Tunisian legislation with a view to the application of the Convention.

Part IV of the report form in conjunction with Article 18 of the Convention. The Committee recalls the Government’s statement that, in accordance with Article 18 of the Convention, a draft Decree respecting the protection of workers against noise had been formulated and submitted for their opinions to the organizations of employers and workers concerned. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate whether the Decree has been adopted and, if so, it requests the Government to provide a copy of the text when it has been adopted. Furthermore, it requests the Government to provide information concerning the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including for example the number of workers covered by the legislation that is in force and the nature of the violations reported.
