1. With reference to the previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's indication that since June 1989 minimum wages have been annually fixed to cover all sectors of the economy, including agriculture, by the Minimum Wage Fixing Board. It would be grateful if the Government would indicate the manner in which employers and workers in the agricultural sector are associated in the working of the Minimum Wage Fixing Board (Article 3, paragraph 3, of the Convention). The Committee also refers to the comments it is making under Convention No. 26, in which it has noted the observations made by the Turkish Confederation of Employers' Associations (TISK) concerning the application of Convention No. 26.

2. The Committee notes the Government's indication, in reply to the previous comments, that studies to draft a new Agricultural and Forestry Work Bill are being carried out and that the Bill will be submitted after consultation, inter alia, with social partners to the Grand National Assembly. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on any development in this regard in so far as it concerns minimum wage fixing in the agricultural and forestry sector.
