Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee notes the indication by the Government that on adoption of the draft Labour Code, presently under way, to which the Government has been referring since 1979, the minimum wage rates currently in force will be reviewed, this time taking account of the presence of workers' organizations. The Committee can only reiterate the hope that the Labour Code will soon be adopted and that employers' and workers' organizations will participate in equal number and on equal terms in the application of methods of fixing and revising minimum wages.

Article 4, paragraph 1. The Committee notes the information in the Government's report that the national legislation does not provide for sanctions in cases of non-respect of minimum wage rates. The Committee reminds the Government that under this provision of the Convention, any Member who ratifies it must take the necessary measures by means of a system of sanctions to ensure that actual wages paid do not fall below the applicable minimum rate. The Committee again trusts that the Government will make every effort to take measures in the very near future in order to give full application to this provision of the Convention.
