With reference to its earlier comments, the Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that the provisions of section 4 of the new version of the Labour Code were examined by the standing committee of the Labour Commission in May 1990 and are shortly to be submitted to the Labour Commission for its opinion.

The Committee recalls that section 4 of the Labour Code, in its new wording, reintroduces the old provision that was deleted in 1974 whereby the head of an enterprise or his representatives shall not employ any kind of pressure for or against any trade union organisation, to ensure more effective implementation of Article 2 of the Convention.

The Committee recalls the importance of adequate protection for workers' organisations against acts of interference on the part of employers accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions, and trusts that section 4, in its new wording, will be adopted in the near future and asks the Government to indicate any progress made in this respect in its next report.
