The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report that sectoral regulations will be drafted shortly for the application of the General Act on Occupational Safety and Health and Welfare and that they will include the standards set forth in the Convention. As indicated in its previous comments, the Committee recalls that specific measures need to be taken to ensure that Article 14 (the compulsory provision of seats for workers) and Article 15 of the Convention (the provision of suitable facilities for workers to change their clothing in the establishments covered by the Convention) are applied.

The Committee once again expresses the hope that the regulations necessary to give full effect to the Convention, in particular Articles 14 and 15, will be adopted in the near future. It requests the Government to indicate, in its next report, the progress made in this regard.
