The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It none the less takes note of the written information communicated by the Government, the statement made by a Government representative and the long discussion that ensued at the Conference Committee in 1991.

With reference to its previous observation, the Committee notes that, according to the written information transmitted by the Government, Act No. 6 of 1964 and implementing Regulation No. 5 of 1976 have fallen into abeyance although they have not been formally amended or repealed and that, in practice, a large number of workers' organisations exist. The Committee also notes that a Government representative stated that with the abolition of the one-party political system, the unitary workers' organisation no longer exists and that the Act and Regulations organising the single trade union system have automatically become obsolete.

While noting this information, which the Government had already given, the Committee is bound to repeat its previous observation and once again urges the Government to adopt the necessary texts at an early date to lift the restrictions on the freedom of workers and employers to establish occupational organisations of their own choosing and to make trade union pluralism possible for first-level unions, federations and confederations, in order to bring its legislation and practice into conformity with the requirements of Articles 2, 5 and 6 of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to supply full particulars to the Conference at its 79th Session.]
