1. The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received.

2. The Committee notes the comments made by the Ethiopian Teachers' Association (ETA) and Education International (EI) in a complaint lodged before the Committee on Freedom of Association (Case No. 1888), relating to alleged violations of freedom of association carried out by the Government vis-à-vis ETA, thereby resulting in ETA's inability to exercise any free and legitimate trade union activities. The Committee would request the Government to provide its comments on the above-mentioned observations especially in view of the fact that section 3(2)(b) of Labour Proclamation No. 42/1993 excludes teachers from its scope of application. The Committee would further request the Government to provide a copy, if any, of relevant legislation that allows teachers to establish and join organizations in order to promote their occupational interests.

3. The Committee had previously noted that a new law, which would govern employees of state administration, judges, prosecutors and others, was expected to be in effect in the near future. The Committee requests the Government to inform it, in its next report, of any progress made in the adoption of this draft legislation.
