1. The Committee notes that the draft of the new General Labour Act, to which it referred in its previous comments, has been approved by the Council of Ministers and has been submitted to the National Assembly for final adoption. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to keep it informed of the progress made in the adoption of this draft text and would be grateful to receive a copy of it when it has been adopted, as well as of any new regulation or Decree adopted in this field that is related to the principle of equality in employment and occupation embodied in the Convention.

2. With regard to its previous observation on the legislative protection against discrimination on the ground of political opinion, the Committee notes with interest the Government's statement that the term "ideology" contained in section 18 of Act No. 23/92 has to be understood as a synonym of the expression "political opinion". It also notes with interest the Government's statement that Decrees Nos. 2/95 and 3/95 of 24 March 1995 repeal Decree No. 17/89 of 13 May 1989 issuing the statutes of the Agostinho Neto University (which provided that the University Council shall ensure the political and ideological training of the University's administrative staff and graduates) and section 30 of Decree No. 55/89 of 20 September 1989 to approve the rules governing the University's teaching staff (which provided that the duties of teachers shall include assisting students in their political and ideological training). The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide a copy of these new Decrees.

3. The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
