Article 1(a), (c) and (d) of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee referred to certain provisions of the Economic Penal Code, the Penal Code, the Agricultural Labour Code and the Press Act, under which prison sentences involving compulsory labour can be inflicted for acts covered by Article 1(a), (c) and (d). It noted that a draft Legislative Decree amending various sections of the Penal Code to eliminate all prison work was being examined by the legislative authorities.

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no new information on the matter. The Committee reiterates the hope that the Government will take the necessary measures to ensure observance of the Convention in the very near future and that it will provide a copy of the provisions adopted.
