1. The Committee notes with satisfaction the information to the effect that the Male and Female Workers' (Equal Pay) Act, 1964, has been replaced in 1996 by a new Equal Pay for Male and Female Workers Act which provides for equal remuneration for "work of equal value" instead of "the same work", and includes, in the definition of "remuneration", all forms of payment to the worker, including reimbursement for expenses incurred in the course of seeking employment. The Committee hopes that it will receive shortly a copy of this Law which, according to the Government, is in the process of being translated. 2. The Committee raises other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
