The Committee notes with regret that for the third year in succession the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes that the draft Code adopted by the National Labour Council contains specific provisions to protect employers' and workers' organizations from acts of interference by each other and provides for a strengthening of the penalties applicable to an employer who commits acts of anti-trade union discrimination in respect of employment. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply the text of the revised Labour Code when it has been adopted by the competent authority. 2. In one of its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate whether the measures taken by the Executive Council to fix the rates of wage increases in public enterprises, to which it referred in a previous report, were still in force. The Government pointed out that the right of free collective bargaining is recognized for these enterprises in accordance with section 266 of the Labour Code and sections 13 and 14 of the National Inter-Occupational Collective Agreement. According to the Government, wage increases in public enterprises are agreed upon through free collective bargaining between employers' organizations (or an individual employer) and workers' organizations on the basis of the minimum wage (SMIG) fixed by order of the President after consultation with the National Labour Council and at the proposal of the Minister concerned. While noting this information, the Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken by the Executive Council as regards wages policy and to supply information on the manner in which the collective bargaining process in the public sector is carried out, including the number of collective agreements concluded and specifying the public servants (excluding those engaged in the administration of the State) whose terms and conditions of employment and wages are determined by collective bargaining.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
