1. 17. The Committee last examined this case at its June 2004 meeting and on that occasion requested the Government to take the necessary steps to ensure that the competent authorities of Misiones Province immediately transfer to the Association of State Workers (ATE), in money of legal tender, the amount of the trade union dues of its members that it wrongfully withheld between January 1994 and October 1996, with payment of the corresponding interest [see 334th Report, paras. 132-146].
2. 18. In a communication of 9 September 2004, the Government indicates that a payment agreement was concluded between the Government of Misiones Province and the ATE on 9 March 2004.
