The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous request, in particular, regarding the application of Articles 4, 10 and 14 of the Convention. It also notes Decree No. 96 178/P RM of 13 June 1996 concerning the application of various provisions of Act No. 92 020 of 23 September 1992 establishing the Labour Code, and Order No. 96 1566/MEFPT SG of 7 October 1996 concerning practical measures for the application of certain provisions of the Labour Code.

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government intends to insert a definition of the term "wages" in the Labour Code on the next suitable occasion. It requests the Government to provide information in future reports on any progress made in this regard.

Article 6. The Committee recalls that this Article requires an appropriate legislative provision expressly prohibiting employers from limiting in any manner the freedom of workers to dispose of their wages. It hopes that the Government will be able to take the necessary measures in due course to bring the national legislation into full conformity with the Convention on this point, and asks it to provide information on any developments in this matter.

Article 7. The Committee notes the Government’s explanations concerning the operation of cooperatives. It again asks the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to ensure that workers are free from any coercion to make use of such stores or services and that the commodities are sold at fair and reasonable prices exclusively for the benefit of the workers concerned.

Part V of the report form. Further to its previous comment, the Committee requests the Government to supply detailed information on the practical application of the Convention, including information on infringements of relevant laws and regulations reported and sanctions imposed.
