The Committee notes that section 5bis of Act No. 93-66 of 5 July 1993 to amend the Labour Code explicitly lays down the principle of non-discrimination between the two sexes. It requests the Government to supply information in its next report on the penal sanctions imposed following violations of the provisions of the new section 5bis.

The Committee notes that the Government's report does not contain a reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the points which were raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

1. The Committee finds that it has no recent information at its disposal from which to assess the manner in which the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value is applied in practice. It would therefore be grateful if the Government would supply in its next report:

(i) the wage scales applicable in the public service and in public enterprises, indicating the distribution of men and women at the various levels;

(ii) the proportion of women covered by the collective agreements which are in force and the distribution of men and women at the various wage levels;

(iii) statistical data on minimum wage rates and the average earnings of men and women, if possible by occupation, branch of activity, seniority and level of qualifications, together with information on the corresponding percentage of women;

(iv) information concerning any inquiry or survey that may have been undertaken or may be contemplated in order to determine the causes of wage disparities and information concerning the measures taken or contemplated in the light of such surveys.

2. With reference to the application of the Convention in agriculture, the Committee noted the Government's statement in its previous report that the texts concerning the minimum wage in agriculture make no distinction between men and women. It would like to receive information as to how the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value is applied in agriculture with regard to wages above the minimum, and in particular on:

(i) the rates of remuneration and occupational classifications fixed by committees on agricultural work pursuant to section 4(b) and (c) of Decree No. 71/285 of 2 August 1971 concerning committees on agricultural work;

(ii) the statistics requested in paragraph 1(iii) above; and

(iii) the activities carried out by the labour inspectorate to supervise the application of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value in agriculture.
