The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be provided for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that appropriate measures will be taken with a view to the amendment of Directive No. 2 of 1978 respecting protection against the risk of poisoning due to benzene to give full effect to Article 4, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Committee recalls that the Government has been stating its intention since 1991 to amend the above Directive. It therefore hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures in the very near future to amend the above Directive and thereby give adequate effect to the Convention. It requests the Government to provide information in its next report on any progress achieved in this respect.
