The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition
Article 6(3) of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report referring to national legislation LN 227/2003, which ensures that concentrations of benzene in premises of work do not exceed a prescribed maximum concentration over a specified period. The Committee asks the Government to indicate how it ensures in practice that the prescribed maximum limits to benzene are not exceeded, including information on whether the competent authority has issued directions on how to carry out measurements of the concentration of benzene within the workplace.
Part IV of the report form. Application of the Convention in practice. The Committee notes that the Government’s report is silent on this matter. The Committee therefore reiterates its request for the Government to provide information in its next report on the application of the Convention in practice, including extracts from labour inspections reports, the number of establishments in the country where workers are exposed to benzene or products containing benzene, the number of such workers, disaggregated by gender if possible.
