The Committee notes the Government's report and the information provided in reply to its earlier comments.

It notes that the consultations on matters concerning the activities of the ILO, which are enumerated in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, are carried out under different procedures.

The consultations concerning points (b) and (c) are held within the Advisory Labour Council and the opinions backed by the majority of its members are transmitted to the Government for action. This procedure ensures that the consultations are effective, as required by Article 2, paragraph 1, in the sense that they enable the representative organizations as defined by the Convention to take up positions in a useful manner on the matters before them.

However, it appears that consultations on points (a), (d) and (e) are confined to mere communications by the Government to the representative organizations for their information. Even if the representative organizations are invited to make comments on these matters, it would not appear, from the report, that the opinions expressed in this way are taken into consideration or influence the Government's decision.

The Committee recalls that the Convention establishes in Article 2 the obligation to ensure effective consultations with respect to the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide fuller and more detailed information on the consultations held on each of the matters enumerated in Article 5, paragraph 1, particularly with regard to points (a), (d) and (e), and on the nature of the reports or recommendations made as a result of these consultations, with an indication of the frequency of the consultations.

The Committee would also be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the competence of the Advisory Labour Council extends to all the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1, or whether it is limited in the texts which define its competence to the matters covered in points (b) and (e) of paragraph 1.

Finally, the Committee hopes that the conditions will soon be met for the application of the Convention to the territory of Zanzibar and requests the Government to keep the ILO informed of any development in this respect.
