1. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes with interest the detailed information supplied by the Government in the reports received in 1988 and 1989, and the copies of judicial decisions and collective agreements attached to the first of these reports.

In particular, the Committee notes with interest the interpretation given to article 14 of the national Constitution by the Constitutional Court in Decision No. 31/84 of 7 March 1984, under which equal wages as provided for in article 14 must be understood as applying not only to the same work but also to work of an equal value. The Committee also notes with interest the adoption of Act No. 8 of 7 April 1988, and in particular the provisions of this Act respecting violations and the sanctions imposed in the event of discrimination as regards remuneration on the grounds, among others, of sex. It also notes that the labour inspection services have been reinforced through this Act and that 15 per cent of the violations reported during 1988 and 1989 concerned cases of discrimination as regards remuneration.

The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on the measures that have been taken and the progress achieved in applying the principle of equal remuneration for men and women workers for work of equal value, in the sense of the Convention. With reference to paragraphs 138 to 150 of its 1986 General Survey on Equal Remuneration, the Committee requests the Government to provide recent information on the methods and criteria used in practice to undertake an objective appraisal of jobs and to determine the equal value that they involve, and the remuneration that must be applied to them.

2. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate how the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value is applied to employees in the public sector, including officials. Please supply copies of any texts adopted under Act No. 30/1984 and copies of collective agreements that are concluded following negotiations with the trade unions regarding the evaluation and classification of jobs in this sector.
