The Committee notes the Government's report for the period ending 30 June 1991, received in October 1992.

The Committee also notes the comments made by the Fishing Vessels Employees' Union in its communication of 11 July 1991 on the working conditions of coastal fishermen; according to this communication, a copy of which was forwarded to the Government on 20 August 1991, no existing labour law is applicable to the working conditions of the coastal fishermen. In the absence of a reply by the Government, the Committee would ask the Government to indicate in its next report whether coastal fishing vessels have been exempted from the application of all or part of the Dock Labourers' Act, 1934, and if so, to supply a copy of the relevant provisions.
