1. The Committee notes that the Federation of Professional Employees of the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires sent a communication on 4 June 2007 and that the Office requested further information from the union on the relation between the contents of the communication and the grounds of discrimination prohibited by the Convention. The Committee notes that the union sent its reply on 2 October 2007. The Committee will examine these communications in detail at its next session, together with any comments that the Government may consider it appropriate to make, as well as the Government’s report which, due to its late arrival, could not be examined at this session.

2. The Committee notes a communication from the General Confederation of Labour of the Republic of Argentina (CGTRA), dated 4 September 2007. The Committee will examine the communication in detail at its next session, together with any comments that the Government may consider it appropriate to make. The Committee welcomes the fact that, according to the communication, the Secretariat for Equality of Opportunity and Gender of the CGTRA has developed and is implementing a programme to promote equality of opportunity within trade union organizations in Argentina, as well as at the workplace, through improving women’s capacity and trade union participation so as to achieve equality in the field of labour. The Committee hopes that, when making its comments on this communication, the Government will in particular provide information on the effect given to the Act on a quota for trade union members (regarding the participation of women) and on the measures adopted in this respect by the Tripartite Commission on Equality of Opportunity and Treatment between Men And Women in the World of Work (CTIO).

3. The Committee notes that on 12 September 2007 a communication was received from the Confederation of Argentinian Workers, which will be examined together with the comments that the Government may deem it appropriate to make.
