With reference to its previous comments concerning section 79(a) of the Agricultural Reform Act of 30 December 1974, the Committee notes with satisfaction the amendment of this provision by section 64 of Decree No. 31-92 of 5 March 1992 issuing the Agricultural Modernization Act. This amendment permits women, irrespective of whether they are married or single, with or without family responsibilities, to benefit on an equal footing with men from the assignment of land within the context of the agrarian reform.

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