Articles 20 and 21 of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that under section 57(9) of Decree No. 1422 of 1989 concerning the restructuring of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the General Inspection Directorate is responsible for collecting, processing and analysing information on inspection work at national and regional levels.

The Committee is also addressing a direct request to the Government concerning the application of Articles 15(c) and 16 of the Convention.
