Article 7 of the Convention. Statistical information. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s brief report to the effect that statistics are not yet available but that discussions on the setting up of a system for the collection of statistical information enabling the identification of cases of morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning among working painters are underway. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the progress made regarding the setting up of a system for the collection of statistical information enabling, among other things, the identification of cases of morbidity and mortality due to lead poisoning among working painters in order to give full effect to Article 7 of the Convention. Pending the setting up of such a system, the Committee requests the Government to supply information on this issue from other sources, such as labour inspection.
