The Committee refers to its observation in respect of the Convention and requests the Government to provide additional information on the following points.

1. In its previous observation of 1995, the Committee had noted that the number of young women under 25 years of age who attend educational institutions had fallen from 50.8 per cent in 1990 to 41.3 per cent in 1994.

2. The Committee requests the Government to provide information in respect of the measures adopted to ensure equality of opportunity in matters of employment and vocational training to the Roma minority and other groups of persons who are in a situation of economic and social exclusion.
