Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1998, published 87th ILC session (1999)

White Lead (Painting) Convention, 1921 (No. 13) - Comoros (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government in answer to its previous direct request to the effect that the labour administration service does not have a statistics department capable of providing reliable statistical data on morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning, as required by the report form under the terms of Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able in the very near future to take the necessary measures to obtain and communicate such data, in order to give effect to the Convention.
