The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government and recalls that a number of the points covered by the Articles of this Convention are more extensively dealt with in other Conventions ratified by Bolivia and that, in a number of cases, these points are examined in the context of the other Conventions.

The Committee once again recalls more generally that the Labour Code is not applicable to workers in agriculture, and that consequently these workers do not enjoy legal protection in respect of some areas covered by this Convention. As the Government has been referring for some time to its intention to adopt new labour legislation which would provide protection for these workers, the Committee hopes that measures will soon be taken in this respect.

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government and would be grateful if it would transmit a copy of DS 20255 of 24 May 1984. It would also be grateful if the Government would supply the information called for by the report form concerning the steps taken to give effect to Article 9.

Article 7. The Committee notes the Government's comment to the effect that the transfer of part of the workers' wages and savings, provided for in this Article, remains at the free initiative of the workers. The Committee recalls that this Article provides expressly that measures shall be taken to encourage the transfer of part of the workers' wages and savings from the area of labour utilisation to the area of labour supply. Consequently, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would report on the measures that have been taken or that are being contemplated to give effect to this Article.

Article 8. The Committee notes the information supplied with regard to international migrations for employment. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would transmit a copy of the agreement concluded in 1964 on this matter with the Government of Argentina, and the new text of the agreement adopted by both Governments in which it hopes that account has been taken of the suggestions of this Committee. Please also supply information on the measures taken to give effect to Article 14, paragraph 3.

Article 15, paragraphs 1 and 3. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government and would be grateful if the Government would provide fuller information concerning the development of systems of education, vocational training and apprenticeship (paragraph 1) and with regard to the proportion of children for whom educational facilities are available (paragraph 3).

Article 16. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government and would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether, in the preparation of the programmes carried out by the National Manpower Training Service (FOMO), consultations were held with the employers' and workers' organisations concerned, or whether such consultations were held within the framework of other institutions.
