1. With reference to its previous direct request, the Committee notes the statement that the Government does not have any information on the existence of homeworkers and that therefore no measure is envisaged concerning the application of the provisions of the Convention to this category of workers. The Committee requests the Government to supply full information on the application of the legislation relating to the fixing of minimum wages for certain categories of workers, including homeworkers. In this respect, it requests the Government to indicate the measures which have been taken or are envisaged to obtain information on the existence and situation of homeworkers.

2. The Committee also notes Decree No. 239 of 1983 to raise the guaranteed minimum wage (SMIG), which was the last revision of the SMIG. It also notes Decree No. 87-50 to establish and determine the composition and functioning of the National Labour Council. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the decision not to raise the SMIG was taken by the National Labour Council.
