The Committee takes note of the Government's report and reply to its previous comment.

Article 5, paragraph 1(b), of the Convention. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comment. In this connection, it recalls that, as it points out in its General Survey of 1982 on tripartite consultation, the purpose of consultations regarding the submission of Conventions and Recommendations is to enable the representative organisations to express an opinion on the usefulness of the instruments concerned before the Government adopts its own position on the subject (see paragraph 109 of the General Survey). The Committee trusts that the Government will conform to the spirit of the Convention when it holds such consultations and that, in its next report, it will provide further relevant information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in this respect.

Article 5, paragraph 1(c). The Government indicates in its report that it has not engaged in a re-examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given, to consider what measures might be taken to promote their implementation and ratification, as appropriate, as provided for in this provision of the Convention. The Committee recalls (see paragraph 116 of the General Survey) that this provision aims to establish a continuous process of review of Conventions and Recommendations. The object therefore is to permit, by means of a programme spread over a period of time, a systematic re-examination, in the light of changes in national legislation and practice, of the instruments that may be relevant to the country concerned. In view of these explanations on the scope of this provision, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on the current situation regarding this matter and on future developments.
