The Committee refers the Government to its observation and wishes to raise the following additional points.

Articles 5(a), 18 and 21(e) of the Convention. Effective cooperation between the labour inspection services and judicial bodies. Noting that according to the Government measures have not as yet been taken to facilitate cooperation between the inspection services and judicial bodies, the Committee requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any progress made or difficulties encountered in this respect.

Article 5(b). Collaboration with organizations of employers and workers. The Committee notes that, according to the Government, the arrangements for such consultations consist in the holding of monthly, quarterly or annual tripartite meetings and that the mechanism set up is the Committee on Workplace Safety, Health and Enhancement. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide specific information on the content and arrangements of such cooperation and its impact on the application of the Convention.

Article 7(3). Training of labour inspectors. The Committee notes that, according to the Government, the Minister, with support from ILO/CRADAT (African Regional Centre for Labour Administration), has examined and validated a comprehensive programme for the training of labour inspectors at national level. The Committee requests the Government to continue to send information on the recruitment of new inspectors and on the comprehensive programme for the training of inspectors (for example, subjects covered, length of training, number of participants, etc.).

Articles 10 and 11. Resources assigned to the inspection services. The Committee notes that, according to the Government, a committee set up to revitalize the inspectorate is responsible inter alia for the recruitment of new staff members of the General Labour Inspectorate. The Committee regrets, however, that according to the annual inspection report for 2011, the lack of material and financial resources is one of the reasons for the cutback in labour inspection activities. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any measures taken, in the context of bilateral or international financial cooperation, to seek the resources necessary for the effective exercise of the functions of the labour inspection service.
