The Committee notes the information of a general nature provided by the Government in reply to its previous comments. The Committee notes that a Bill submitted to Parliament envisages making the Economic and Social Council responsible for matters relating to the standard-setting activities of the ILO enumerated in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. It would be grateful if the Government would keep the Office informed of any development in this respect.

The Committee also notes that the principal representative organizations of workers were consulted in the process of ratifying the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105). It hopes that in future the representative organizations of employers will also be consulted and that the Government will provide full particulars on the consultations held not only on the matter covered by subparagraph (c) of Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, but also on the matters covered by subparagraphs (a), (b), (d) and (e) of the same Article.

The Government is requested to describe the procedures which ensure effective tripartite consultations with respect to the matters set out in Article 5, paragraph 1; to report the manner in which these procedures were determined; and to indicate whether any tripartite consultations took place for this purpose.

Article 3, paragraph 2. In its first report, the Government stated that representatives of employers and workers participating in the consultations covered by the Convention are selected by the most representative organizations. The Committee would be grateful if it would indicate the measures taken to ensure their representation on an equal footing for the purposes of these consultations.

Article 4, paragraph 2. The Government is requested to provide information, where appropriate, on any arrangements made with the representative organizations of employers and workers for the financing of the training of participants in the consultative procedures covered by the Convention.
