The Committee notes the detailed information on the specific activities of the labour inspectorate in agriculture contained in the Government’s report and also in the annual inspection reports sent to the Office.

Article 6, paragraphs 1(a) and (b), of the Convention. Prevention and enforcement activities of the labour inspectorate. The Committee notes with interest the developments which have occurred in the working of the labour inspection system in agriculture and forestry. It notes in particular with satisfaction the implementation of a number of measures which have contributed towards improving the level of protection of workers in recent years. These measures include the expansion of information and advisory activities by inspectors, the adoption of instructions relating to the formulation of occupational safety policies, the definition of procedures for the assessment of occupational risks and also training activities organized by agricultural advisers from the Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry. Moreover, two specific campaigns have been undertaken: in 2005, on the use of agricultural machinery and equipment and the protection of young workers; and in 2006 on monitoring the application of legal provisions relating to occupational safety and health in agricultural undertakings. The Committee also welcomes the fact that agricultural subsidies are dependent on observance of a number of safety and health conditions. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on the labour inspection activities specifically targeting occupational safety and health in agricultural and forestry undertakings and to indicate whether inspection campaigns have taken place or are planned to ensure the enforcement of the legal provisions relating to the general conditions of work of agricultural workers (wages, hours of work, holidays, etc.).

The Committee is also addressing a request directly to the Government with regard to another point.
