The Committee notes the Government's report as well as the codification of the Political Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador (issued on 4 June 1984 as updated in January 1992) and the Act amending the Labour Code (Act No. 133, published on 21 November 1991). It requests the Government to supply information on the following points.

Article 12, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Convention. The Committee notes that section 89 of the Labour Code has not been modified by Act No. 133 of 1991 and that it limits the repayment of advances to 10 per cent of the monthly remuneration. It requests the Government to indicate how the maximum amount of advances on wages, which may be repaid over a period of several months, is regulated.

Article 12, paragraph 3. The Committee hopes that, when the Government fixes the maximum amount of advances, it will also take measures to ensure that any advance in excess of the prescribed amount shall be legally irrecoverable.

Article 15. The Committee notes with interest that section 27, paragraph 8, of the Political Constitution stipulates that education at the primary level and the basic cycle of the secondary level is obligatory. It requests the Government to state at what age the obligatory education under this provision is to be finished, and to supply information on any laws or regulations enacted to implement this constitutional provision. The Committee also requests the Government to state which measures have been taken to prohibit the employment of persons below school-leaving age during school hours.
