Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous observation. It notes in particular that Act No. 16 of 6 November 1990 was repealed by Act No. 25 of 30 November 1992 to establish a special, comprehensive and simplified system for the establishment and operation of export zones, section 55 of which provides that the conditions of employment in export zones shall be subject to the common standards contained in the Labour Code, among other legislation.

The Committee requests the Government to state whether women workers employed in export zones are also covered by the maternity benefit provisions of the Social Security Fund (Legislative Decree No. 14 of 1954).
