The Committee notes that, according to the Government's explanations in reply to its previous comments, Legislative Decree No. 798 of 1938 is part of the supplementary legislation to the above Code, in accordance with section 2 of the Labour Code, which determines the texts that shall constitute Cuban labour law, and therefore provides for the application of this Convention.
The Committee also takes note of the comments, dated 31 January 1991, submitted by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), concerning, inter alia, the application of this Convention. The ICFTU indicates that the state enterprise CUBATECNICA which recruits young workers for employment abroad for a period of four years, imposes labour contracts under which 60 per cent of the workers' wages is retained for use by the State which returns the above amount to the workers concerned upon their return to Cuba. The Committee hopes that the Government will communicate its observations shortly so that the comments of the above trade union organisation can be dealt with.
[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1991.]
