The Committee takes note of the Government's report and the information supplied in reply to its previous direct request.

1. With regard to cases jeopardizing the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value and which would have come before the Committees on Labour Disputes, the Committee notes that, according to the Government, these Committees have been abolished and their powers have now been assigned to the ordinary courts. It also notes that there have been no reports of any such cases. The Committee asks the Government to continue to keep it informed of any new developments in this area or any new cases.

2. The Committee had noted that as yet there are no collective agreements. It notes the Government's indication that the collective agreements are still at the promotional stage. The Committee asks the Government to provide detailed and comprehensive information on this matter in its next report.

3. With regard to wage fixing in the sectors which come under the authority of the State, the Committee asked the Government to provide information on measures to determine the value of work which, in practice, is usually carried out by women, in comparison with the work generally carried out by men. The Committee notes that, according to the Government, an objective assessment of jobs in the form of a national classification of occupations is currently being undertaken and that the study should be completed in early 1993. The Committee asks the Government to provide a copy of the study with its next report, along with detailed information on progress made in ensuring an objective appraisal of jobs so as to guarantee equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. The Committee also asks the Government to provide updated statistical information on the wage rates currently being paid in the public and private sectors, with an indication of the percentage of men and women employed at different levels.

4. The Committee noted that in its last report the Government referred to information supplied in its reports on the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) which, unlike Convention No. 100, does not cover all sectors, and asked the Government to provide information on the labour inspectorate's activities in all sectors of the economy to ensure supervision of the application of the legal provisions on equal remuneration, in accordance with point V of the report form. The Committee notes that, in its report, the Government states that the labour inspectorate covers all sectors of the economy and that no cases of infringement of the provisions on equal remuneration have been reported. The Committee asks the Government to continue to provide specific information on this matter (infringements recorded, sanctions imposed), and on any relevant court decisions.
