Article 2, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Convention. The Committee has noted since 1987 that amendments to the Labour Code of 1975 were under examination, to bring the minimum age for admission to employment or work (presently 14 years) under section E3 of the Labour Code, read in conjunction with section E2, into conformity with its declaration appended to its ratification, in which the Government had specified a minimum age of 16 years. The Committee requests the Government to indicate measures taken in order to ensure the application of the Convention in this connection. The Committee ventures to suggest to the Government that it seek technical assistance from the ILO if problems are encountered in amending this legislation.

Article 4, paragraph 2. Please indicate whether the position of the national law and practice in respect of the categories of young people excluded from the application of the Convention (section E3 of the Labour Code) has remained, and whether effect has been given or is proposed to be given to the Convention in respect of these categories.

Article 9, paragraph 3. The Committee notes the specimen of the register form for employed persons under 18 years, to be kept by the employer under section E6 of the Labour Code.
