With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s explanations regarding the application of Articles 7 and 10 of the Convention. It notes in particular that the reference in section 163(2)(b) of the Labour Code of 1994 to the sale of goods preferably, but not exclusively, in exchange for cash is meant to offer the possibility to workers to obtain essential consumer goods also on credit. The Committee further notes that works stores, which mainly exist in the timber industry, operate on a non-profit basis providing basic commodities at cost price.

Part V of the report form. The Committee notes that the Government has not supplied in recent years any information on the practical application of the Convention, particularly as regards measures to ensure compliance with the national legislation in respect of wage protection. The Committee therefore requests the Government to make every effort to obtain and communicate in its next report concrete information on the effect given to the Convention in practice, including for instance extracts from official reports, statistics on the number of inspection visits carried out and the results obtained in regard to the matters dealt with in the Convention, as well as any other particulars which would enable the Committee to better appreciate the progress achieved or the difficulties encountered in securing the observance of the standards embodied in the Convention.
