The Committee takes note of the Government's second report and in particular of the information supplied in response to its previous comments concerning Articles 7 and 13 of the Convention.

Article 2. The Committee asks the Government to state whether, for Articles 9, 10 and 14, the latest standards and guidelines were followed in designing or revising the concepts, definitions and methodology used, and to give the reasons for any departure from these standards and guidelines.

Article 8. The Committee again asks the Government to indicate whether a description of the methodology used in the collection and compilation of statistics of the structure and distribution of the economically active population has been published and, if so, to provide a copy of it or indicate the references required by Article 6(c).

Articles 9 and 10. The Committee notes that the Federal Office for Industry and Labour (OFIAMT) has started preparatory work on the revision of the methodology of statistical surveys on wages and salaries. It asks the Government to provide information on the method used, following this revision, to collect and compile statistics, as well as information on consultations with employers' and workers' organizations, in accordance with Article 3. It also asks the Government to provide information on any progress made in including certain categories of workers or persons who were originally excluded from the scope of the statistics referred to in these Articles (Article 17, paragraph 2).

Article 14. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether it plans to collect and compile statistics on the number of days lost owing to occupational injury, and also to present statistics of occupational injuries and of occupational diseases separately, as recommended in the resolution on this subject adopted by the 13th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (1982).
