The Committee would be grateful if the following information were provided in the next report.

Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention. Please indicate what measures are taken to ensure that labour-management conciliation duties entrusted to labour inspectors do not interfere with the effective discharge of their primary duties.

Article 5(a). Please describe what measures are taken to ensure effective cooperation between the inspection services and other government services, particularly as regards the National Institute of Health and the Ministry of Health.

Articles 6 and 11(b). (1) The Committee notes that the desired transport facilities have not been provided for inspectors; reliance is sometimes placed on enterprises or unions. Please indicate any progress made so that reliance is not placed upon employers or workers' organisations for their transport. (2) The Committee notes from the report on Convention No. 129 that not all members of the labour inspectorate are career officials. Please clarify how the stability and independence of all inspection staff are ensured in these circumstances.

Article 14. The Committee notes that industrial accidents and occupational diseases are not always notifed to the Ministry of Labour. Please indicate any measures proposed to ensure that inspectors are duly notified and can thus exercise their functions correctly.

Article 15(c). Further to previous comments, the Committee notes the statement that the principle of confidentiality referred to in this Article is observed in practice. The Government also refers (for the first time) to Decree No. 1489 of 1952. Please indicate whether this Decree applies to labour inspectors and the labour inspectorate, and provide a full copy.
