The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee recalls that its previous comments related to sections 1, 2 and 4 of Act No. 88/009 of 19 May 1988 (the requirement that a person who stands for trade union office has to be an employee in the same occupation, and the establishment of the single trade union system in the legislation) which are not fully in accordance with the requirements of the Convention, and to the restitution of the property of the former General Union of Central African Workers (UGTC). The Committee notes with interest that the new Constitution of 14 January 1995 enshrines trade union pluralism and freedom of association. The Government indicates that laws will be enacted to give effect to these constitutional provisions. In regard to the procedure for the reimbursement of the property of the former UGTC which became the Trade Union Federation of Central African Workers (USTC), the Committee notes the exchange of letters between the Government and the USTC Secretary-General dated 24 May and 1 June 1995 in which the Government requests an exact inventory of the property concerned with a view to seeking ways and means of solving the problem with the government authorities. The Government indicates in its report that the financial and economic difficulties to which the State is subject have not allowed the Government to compensate for the damages suffered by the former UGTC. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in its next report of any change in the situation in either legislation or practice and, in particular, to indicate the measures taken to amend sections 1, 2 and 4 of the 1988 Act in order to bring them into conformity with the requirements of the Convention.

END OF REPETITION

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