The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its 2001 direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in the report received in June 2001 in which the Government indicates difficulties of a general nature being experienced by the labour market in the country which are the basic reasons for delays in setting up offices throughout the country. The Committee hopes that in its next report the Government will be able to indicate how the free public employment service contributes to the best possible organization of the labour market and to indicate whether a national programme for the achievement and maintenance of full employment and the development and use of productive resources has been set up (Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention).

2. Articles 4 and 5. The Government indicates that consultations with workers’ and employers’ representatives on the organization, operation and development of labour policy are usually conducted in the National Labour Council when it is convened to discuss these questions. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would report on discussions of employers’ and workers’ representatives in the National Labour Council and any recommendations made in the Council on the subjects covered by the abovementioned provisions of the Convention.

3. Parts IV and VI of the report form. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply statistical information (number of public employment offices established, applications for employment received, vacancies notified and number of persons placed in employment by such offices) enabling it to appreciate the manner in which the Convention is applied and any difficulties encountered in giving effect to its provisions.
