1. The Committee takes note of the Government’s report. It notes the numerous legislation adopted during the reporting period.

2. Part IV of the report form. The Committee notes the data provided by the Government in its report on the number of interventions of the Inspectorate-General of Labour (IGT) concerning work covered by the Convention. It notes the significant increase of violations stated by the IGT in the year 2001, as compared to the year 2000. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged by the labour inspection services with a view to remedying the infractions observed and the number and nature of contraventions reported so as to ensure the full application of the Convention, not only in law but also in practice.
