Resources of labour inspectors. The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending 31 May 2005. It is concerned by the fact that the Government reports a significant drop in the number of establishments inspected, from 4,978 in 2000 to 2,935 in 2004. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes in this regard that the lack of financial resources and scarce transport facilities continue to present an obstacle to the effective exercise of inspection functions throughout the country. The Committee requests the Government to describe in its next report any measures taken, where appropriate, with the technical assistance of the ILO and the support of international cooperation, in order to ensure labour inspectors are furnished with the material means and the transport facilities required to ensure that establishments are inspected as often and as thoroughly as is necessary to ensure the effective application of the relevant legal provisions relating to work conditions and the protection of the workers, in accordance with Articles 11 and 16 of the Convention.

A request regarding certain other points is being addressed directly to the Government.
