The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report.

Article 2(1) of the Convention.  The Committee notes in particular that, under the aegis of the Labour Directorate in cooperation with the employers’ and workers’ organizations, Decision No. 266/CP concerning a number of social measures was adopted on 17 April 1998. It notes with interest that, according to the Government’s reports, this text makes a medical examination, preferably before hiring, an obligation and lays down rules for the temporary employment of children of 14 years and over during school holidays. The Committee recalls that this provision of the Convention is not fully complied with unless the medical examination takes place prior to hiring. It therefore asks the Government to inform it of the measures adopted or envisaged to bring the legislation into conformity with the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee asks the Government to enclose a copy of Decision No. 266/CP of 17 April 1998 in its next report so that the Committee can ascertain whether its provisions are consistent with those of the Convention.

Part V of the report form.  The Committee notes the Government’s statement that the employment of young people of 14 years and over is almost exclusively in the context of occupational apprenticeships. Employment during school terms appears to be marginal despite the current lack of figures on the subject. The Committee asks the Government to supply any available information on the employment of young people of under 18 years of age, particularly information which is relevant to the provisions of the Convention.
