Following its previous comment, the Committee notes with satisfaction the adoption of Decision No. 283 of 24 February 1988 respecting equality of remuneration and occupation between men and women, sections 3 to 5 of which give statutory effect to the practical application of section 23 of Ordinance No. 85-1181 respecting the guiding principles of labour law. In particular, under section 5 of the Decision, any clauses of agreements, contracts or regulations resulting from a decision by an employer or group of employers, which provide for remuneration which is lower than that of workers of the other sex for the same work or work of equal value, are automatically annulled.

The Committee is also addressing a request concerning certain points directly to the Government.
