Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2000, Publicación: 89ª reunión CIT (2001)

1.  The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the adoption of the public service bill mentioned in its previous report, which was to repeal section 82 of the Public Service Act which authorized the authorities to terminate the employment contracts of nurses as from the fifth month of their pregnancy. It would be grateful if the Government would inform it of the adoption of the above bill and provide a copy of the text as adopted.

2.  With regard to discrimination on the basis of political opinion, the Committee recalls that, in one of its previous reports, the Government stated that its authorities were examining the possibility of establishing formally in a legal text the prohibition against all discrimination based on political opinion, including in employment and occupation. Since in its report the Government makes no mention of this matter, the Committee again asks it to inform it of the opinion issued by the competent authorities on this point.
