The Committee notes that, according to the Government, Act No. 1715 of 19 October 1996 concerning the national agrarian reform services extends, by virtue of its final provisions, application of the General Labour Act to wage earning rural workers. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply a copy of the full text of this Act.

The Committee notes with interest in connection with its 1999 general observation on labour inspection and child labour, the adoption of Act No. 2026 of 27 October 1999 concerning the protection of children and young persons and, in particular, fixing the minimum age for entry to employment and prohibiting the employment of young persons on certain work.

The Committee notes, however, that application of the Convention is made difficult due particularly to the lack of human resources. It would be grateful if the Government would supply information on the measures taken or envisaged to provide the labour inspection services with budgetary allocations appropriate to the needs so as to allow satisfactory performance of its services in regard to the provisions of the Convention.

Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. The Committee notes with regret the failure to supply an annual inspection report of which the form, publication and communication to the ILO are provided by the Convention. Noting furthermore that measures do not appear to have been taken to ensure production of such reports, the Committee reminds the Government that this is an obligation stemming from ratification of the Convention and that technical assistance from the ILO may be requested for this purpose. It would be grateful if the Government would endeavour as soon as possible to give effect to the pertinent provisions of the Convention and to communicate to the ILO any relevant information.

Part V of the report form. Noting that the Government has not indicated in its report to which representative organizations of employers and workers copies of it have been communicated, the Committee recalls that communication is an obligation laid down in article 23, paragraph 2, of the ILO Constitutionand requests the Government to supply information on any particular circumstances which explain why it was not done.
