The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report and the observations of the Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL) and the Italian Confederation of Workers' Unions (CISL) on the application of the Convention.

With regard, in particular, to the application of Article 1 of the Convention, the Committee notes with interest the adoption of Regional Act (Tuscany) No. 22 of 22 March 1990 to protect and promote the human rights of migrants from outside the EEC, by establishing a Regional Council for extra-community immigration, whose members include representatives of migrants' associations and employers' and workers' organizations. The above Act provides for the adoption and implementation of a programme to cover activities such as reception centres, information, social integration and protection of culture, integration into the labour market, medical and social coverage, accommodation, legal assistance, etc. Similar Acts have been adopted by other regions such as Liguria (Act No. 7 of 9 February 1990), Emilia Romagna (Act No. 14 of 21 February 1990), Puglia (Act No. 29 of 11 May 1990), Umbria (Act No. 18 of 10 April 1990), il Veneto (Act No. 9 of 30 January 1990), etc.

The Committee also notes that under section 11 of Legislative Decree No. 195 of 1 March 1992, extra-community migrants who are lawfully resident in the Italian territory and who are enrolled on placement lists should, for purposes of medical assistance provided by the National Medical Service, be considered as Italian citizens enrolled on the same lists. It also notes the measures taken by almost all the regions to ensure that extra-community migrants receive the same treatment as Italian citizens in respect of social protection and the right of association, in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 of the Convention.

The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide information on any further progress accomplished in this area and on the application of the measures taken to give effect to the Convention.

The Committee also asks the Government to provide information on the points raised in a request addressed to it directly.
