The Committee notes the Government's report and its reply to the previous comments. It notes that the National Traffic and Land Transport Council, after a first analysis of the legal and technical aspects of the implementation of the Convention, has been asked to set up an inter-institutional committee with a specific short-term mandate. A study on the matter also recommends that the ILO technical assistance should be requested.

The Committee hopes that the Government will shortly be able to establish the exact attributions of each sector of the administration in order to facilitate the application of the provisions of the Convention, so that it will then be in a position to provide the information requested on the laws and regulations that give effect to the provisions of the Convention, and on its application in practice, as required by the report form.

The Committee also notes a communication sent by the Ecuadorian Central of Class Organizations, which alleges that there is a lack of any machinery to supervise the application of the Convention. It hopes that the next report will also contain comments which the Government might consider appropriate to make on this matter.
