Article 7, paragraph 3. Maximum limits on additional hours of work. The Committee requests the Government to refer to the comments made under Article 6(2) of Convention No. 1.

Part V of the report form. Application in practice. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide together with its next report up to date information on the application of the Convention in practice including, for instance, information on the number of workers covered by the relevant legislation, extracts from labour inspection reports showing the number and nature of infringements of the working time legislation observed and the sanctions imposed, statistics on the hours of overtime worked in the cases covered by Articles 5 and 7(2) of the Convention, any difficulties encountered in the implementation of the Convention, etc.
