The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s information to the effect that Cambodia does not yet have any legislation regulating the use of white lead or of all types of products containing lead. The Committee also notes the Government’s information to the effect that a revised draft Labour Code is being examined by the National Assembly. Lastly, it notes the Government’s information to the effect that imported products are not subject to controls and that the local products do not appear to contain lead. The Committee nevertheless recalls that in its 1994 report, the Government indicated that the use of white lead was very widespread in the country, particularly during this period of reconstruction. With regard to the draft Labour Code currently before the National Assembly, the Committee recalls the comments made by the ILO concerning the draft Labour Code and expresses the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures to prohibit or regulate the use of white lead within the framework of provisions relating to hygiene and safety of workers (sections 228 to 247 of the draft Labour Code). The Committee hopes therefore that the Government will soon be able to announce the adoption of the draft Labour Code, taking the provisions of the Convention into account. It requests the Government to indicate in its next report any progress made in this regard.
