The Committee notes the brief information provided in the Government's report in reply to its previous direct request. It notes that during the reference period ending 30 June 1995, the Government carried out written consultations on a number of draft replies and reports on the matters enumerated in Article 5, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (d), of the Convention, and that the observations made by employers' and workers' organizations have been transmitted to the ILO.
