The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

In its reply to the general observation of 1992, the Government indicates that only citizens of Chad or foreigners who have resided in the country for seven years and are covered by a reciprocity clause are eligible for trade union office. The Committee considers that the Government should make its legislation more flexible to allow organizations to elect their officers freely and to allow foreign workers to be eligible for trade union office at least after a reasonable period of residence in the country, and that seven years is clearly not a reasonable period.

The Committee trusts that the Government will shortly adopt provisions enabling the Convention to be better applied and asks the Government to report on any developments in these matters.
