The Committee notes the brief information provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments.

Article 3 of the Convention. Establishment of maximum permissible weight for manual transport. In its previous observation, the Committee recalled that, since the ratification of the Convention by Madagascar, it has been emphasizing that the laws and regulations in force in the country do not give effect to this provision of the Convention. It further recalled that for a number of years the Government had given the undertaking that it would take the necessary measures to bring the laws and regulations concerned into conformity with the Convention. The Committee notes with regret that the Government confines itself to indicating that measures will be taken to achieve the adoption of a ministerial order. The Government therefore makes no further reference to the ministerial order setting the maximum weight for the manual transport of any load by a single male adult worker at 55 kg or 50 kg, in accordance with the Convention, which, according to the Government’s previous report, had been forwarded to the Ministries of Industry, Trade and Transport, where it had already been discussed and approved. The Committee is therefore bound to express once again the firm hope that 33 years after the ratification of the Convention by Madagascar the Government will adopt the inter-ministerial order concerned with a view to giving full effect to the provisions of the Convention.
