The Committee notes that no report has been received from the Government. It must therefore refer to its previous observation concerning the following matters:
In earlier comments, the Committee had noted that no specific measures had been taken since the Convention was ratified to prevent and control occupational cancer in accordance with the Convention. The Committee noted with interest that, during the discussion concerning the application of this Convention at the Committee on the Application of Standards to the 1989 Conference, the Government had expressed its wish for technical assistance from the ILO with a view towards drawing up as quickly as possible an adequate legal framework for protection against occupational cancer. The Conference Committee had expressed the hope that concrete progress in this respect would be reported prior to the meeting of this Committee in 1990. The Committee understood that ILO technical assistance should occur prior to the International Labour Conference in June 1990 and hoped that, with this assistance, the Government would be able to take, in the very near future, the necessary steps for the application of the Convention in law and in practice.
