The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Government indicates that the project document elaborated with the technical assistance of the ILO, concerning the establishment of employment promotion offices (EPOs), which would perform the role of the former employment exchanges, has not been implemented due to the lack of financial resources. The Government also states that specialization by occupation and by industries is not currently given emphasis for the same reason. In its previous report received in October 1993, the Government informed of its intention to open the EPOs in three regions of the country. The Committee hopes that the project concerning the establishment of EPOs will be put into practice in the near future and asks the Government to keep it informed of any progress made in this regard. The Committee trusts that the Government will not fail to supply, in its next report, information on measures taken in this connection with a view to ensuring full application of Article 6 of the Convention (Employment service's functions) and Article 7 (Measures to facilitate within the various employment offices specialization by occupation and by industries, and to meet the needs of particular categories of applicants, such as disabled persons). The Committee in its previous comments noted from the Government's report received in October 1993 the information concerning action taken as a result of preparation of various youth programmes and consultancy services. The Committee asked the Government to continue to describe the developments in this field and, more particularly, special arrangements for juveniles made within the framework of the employment and vocational guidance services, in accordance with Article 8. It observes that the Government's report contains no information on this point. The Committee hopes that the information requested will be supplied by the Government in its next report in order to enable the Committee to assess the application of this Article. While noting the Government's statement in the report concerning difficulties in providing statistical information, the Committee reiterates its hope that such information will be supplied as soon as it becomes available, in accordance with point IV of the report form.
