With reference to its observation, the Committee wishes to raise the following additional points.

Article 9(3) of the Convention. Training of labour inspectors in agriculture in the course of their employment. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the training given to labour inspectors in agriculture for the performance of their duties during the period covered by the next report. The Government is requested to indicate the frequency of the training, type of activity (seminar, workshop, etc.), duration, training body, number of participating inspectors and subjects covered.

Articles 12(1) and 6(1) and (2). Cooperation between the labour inspection services and other government services with a view to risk prevention in agriculture. In the comments that it has been making since 2007, the Committee has been asking the Government to send a copy of the full report on risk identification and prevention in the livestock farming sector prepared by the labour inspectorate in 2006 for the specialist departments of the Ministry of Livestock Farming, Agriculture and Fisheries. The Committee hopes that the Government will send a copy of the abovementioned report with its next report on the Convention. The Committee also requests the Government once again to provide detailed information on the impact of the actions aimed at the prevention of brucellosis implemented by the labour inspectorate in conjunction with the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Livestock Farming, Agriculture and Fisheries, and the State Insurance Bank, which the Government referred to in its previous report.

Articles 26 and 27. Annual inspection report. The Committee notes the document relating to the work of the labour inspectorate in 2012. It requests the Government to send the ILO a copy of the 2011 annual report containing information on inspection activities in agriculture, and to ensure that annual reports on the work of the inspection services in agriculture, either as a separate report or as part of a general report, are sent to the ILO on a regular basis and that they contain information on all the subjects listed in Article 27.
