Articles 1, 2 and 5 of the Convention. In its previous comments the Committee noted that Order No. 4473/PR/MTMO/89 of 11 December 1989 gave effect to Article 5(1)(b) of the Convention. The Committee reminds the Government that Article 1 (prohibition on the use of white lead and sulphate of lead in the internal painting of buildings), Article 2 (regulation of the use of white lead in artistic painting), and Article 5 (regulation of the use of white lead in operations for which their use is not prohibited) call for the adoption of legislative measures. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the law and practice giving effect to these Articles of the Convention.

Article 7. Statistical information. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether it has statistics relating to morbidity and mortality among working painters resulting from lead poisoning and, if so, to send a copy of such statistics.
