The Committee has noted the information provided by the Government in reply to its earlier comments.

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Government states that members of the tripartite Joint Advisory Committee are appointed in equal numbers after consultation with representative organizations of employers and workers. It also indicates that this body is consulted on all matters concerning labour, including policy and new legislation. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would make it clear, in its next report, that the Joint Advisory Committee is consulted on matters concerning the organization and operation of the employment service and the development of the employment service policy.

Article 7. The Committee notes a brief statement in the Government's report, in particular according to which very little has been done to meet the needs of disabled workers. It recalls that, under this Article, measures shall be taken:

(a) to facilitate within the various employment offices specialization by occupations and by industries, such as agriculture and any other branch of activity in which such specialization may be useful; and

(b) to meet adequate the needs of particular categories of applicants for employment, such as disabled persons".

The Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will provide more detailed information concerning the arrangements made to give effect to this Article.

Article 8. The Government indicates that young applicants for employment are dealt with by a separate branch of the employment service - the Youth Employment Service. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would describe in more detail the functioning of this branch, as well as any other special arrangements for juveniles, if any, within the framework of the employment and vocational guidance services.

Point IV of the report form. Please furnish statistical information concerning the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified, and the number of persons placed in employment by such offices.
