The Committee notes the indication in the Government's report that white lead has been used a great deal in the country recently. The Government further indicates that white lead in painting is used on construction and repair sites, as well as in design workshops.

The Committee notes the indication in the Government's report that there is no legislation regulating the use of white lead in painting and that the newly created Ministry for Social Affairs, Labour and Veterans has not yet been in a position to draft the necessary texts. Finally, it notes that efforts have been made to provide information to workers on the general toxicity of exposure to lead.

The Committee hopes that the Government will be in a position, in the near future, to adopt the measures necessary for the application of the Convention. It requests the Government to indicate, in its next report, the progress made in this regard.
