Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes with satisfaction that section 18 of Act No. 86-845 of 17 July 1986 concerning the general principles of labour law and the organisation and operation of the labour inspectorate and labour tribunals in French Polynesia guarantees equal remuneration for women and men for the same work or for work of equal value and provides that "jobs are considered as having an equal value when, taken as a whole, they require of workers comparable qualifications, diploma or equivalent experience, ability gained through experience, responsibilities and physical or mental demands".
