The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no information in reply to its previous direct request. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information on the following points in its next report:

1. The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its reports concerning the resignation of public servants. The Committee notes that, under sections 52 and 54 of Decree No. 65-15 of 14 January 1965, a public servant may resign only if his application to do so is accepted by the authority empowered to make appointments, and a public servant who terminates his duties before the date fixed by the competent authority may be subject to disciplinary sanction; his pension, if he is entitled to one, may be reduced by 25 per cent for the first six months. Referring to paragraphs 67-73 of its General Survey of 1979 on the Abolition of Forced Labour, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on the criteria that determine the authority's acceptance or rejection of applications to resign, and on the possibilities of appeal in the event of rejection.

The Committee also takes note of the information supplied by the Government concerning the procedure for the resignation of career servicemen. The Committee asks the Government to provide additional information on the length of service required when the person concerned has undertaken to serve for a specific period, following further training, instruction or special training, and to provide a copy of the relevant texts and of the provisions of the common regime for resignations which, according to the Government, governs the situation of career servicemen.

2. The Committee takes note of Order No. 8193/MD/CAB/1 of 31 December 1983 concerning measures to disband the civic service. The Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the Official Gazette in which the above text was published with its next report.
