Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1998, Publicación: 87ª reunión CIT (1999)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's brief report.

1. Following its previous direct requests concerning the application in practice of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for the same work or work of equal value, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government to the effect that Order No. 1386/MASE/DNTLS/90 of 15 May 1990, already noted by the Committee, and classifying jobs in the private and semi-private sectors, provides the criteria for assessing the application of this principle. Recalling that it wishes to obtain detailed information on the practical application of the legal texts relating to the principle of equal remuneration, the Committee again requests the Government to collect statistics on the jobs in which a large number of women are concentrated and on their remuneration compared to that of men at the different levels, so as to provide an overall assessment of the way in which the principle embodied in the Convention is applied.

2. Noting the Government's statement that it will inform the ILO of any amendments made in the area of equal remuneration in general, and of wage negotiations in particular, the Committee observes that it has not received a copy of any of the current collective agreements. Consequently, it once again requests the Government to provide copies of the collective agreements in force fixing wage rates and an indication of the number of women to which these agreements apply, so as to ensure that all the elements of the remuneration stipulated in the agreements comply with the principle embodied in the Convention. Please also send a copy of the 1987 collective agreement relating to mines, quarries and chemical industries which, according to the Government, has been sent to the ILO, but has not been received.
