1. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report. The Committee notes the Government's statement that race is implicitly included among the grounds of discrimination enumerated in national regulations. The Committee once again hopes that the Government will take the appropriate measures, in accordance with Article 1(a) of the Convention, to include "race" among the grounds of discrimination set out explicitly in the national legislation in a forthcoming revision of the legislation.

2. The Government indicates that the computerisation of the management of the employment services, which is the only means of obtaining the information that is requested, is currently under way. The Committee therefore hopes that the Government will be able to supply in its next report the information requested on the activities of the ministries and departments concerned with: (a) access to vocational training; (b) access to employment and the various occupations; and (c) conditions of work (in accordance with Articles 2 and 3) and statistics by sex concerning access to training and to the various jobs and occupations.

3. As regards the activities of the Directorate for the Advancement of Women, the Government indicates that there are 625 centres in the country for the literacy of women, with 14,398 instructors, and that women in the rural environment are trained in particular in dyeing, pottery, the smoking of fish, weaving, market gardening and the manufacture of soap. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on the progress achieved in this respect.

4. The Committee notes the Government's statement that, in practice, there are no exceptions with respect to the physical conditions or specific limitations as regards the application without distinction between the sexes of the General Conditions of Service for Public Servants (section 4 of Ordinance No. 1 of 4 January 1968). The Committee once again requests the Government to indicate in its next report the number of women employed in the public administration (including those occupying posts of responsibility) and their percentage in relation to that of men.
