The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It expresses concern in this respect. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not provide any information on the application of the Convention, either in law or in practice. The Committee reiterates that current national laws and regulations are too general to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention and that specific measures should be taken to regulate the use of benzene and products containing benzene in accordance with the Convention. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure that the provisions of the Convention are applied in law and in practice. The Committee would also like to inform the Government that the Office is available to provide relevant technical assistance to assist in its efforts to bring national law and practice into conformity with this Convention.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
