With reference to its previous observations, the Committee notes the detailed information supplied by the Government in reply to its comments on equality of opportunity and treatment in employment in the Greek Telecommunications Agency (OTE), and in particular, the copy of the wage scale for the OTE staff, in force since 1 January 1990 pursuant to the National Labour Collective Agreement of 7 March 1990.

It notes from extracts of the 1989 report of the Standing Committee for the Equality of the Sexes that section 6 of the General Regulations for OTE staff has been amended so as to apply the same age-limit with regard to recruitment for both men and women and that 42 per cent of the total number of employees recruited from 1983 to 1988 were women. The Committee hopes the Government will supply, in future reports, any information on further progress made concerning the position of women in the Greek Telecommunications Agency.
