Articles 2 and 3 of the Convention. The Committee noted previously that under section 27(2) of Decree No. 61/82 of 3 August 1992, in conjunction with section 8 providing for a compulsory interval of ten hours between two periods of work, the night period during which women may not be employed in industrial enterprises is ten hours.

The Committee recalls that the Convention states that the night period must be "of at least 11 consecutive hours".

The Committee notes from the Government's report that the General Labour Act (No. 6/81 of 24 August 1981) is in the process of being revised. It hopes that the Government will take advantage of the revision to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention and asks it to report on progress made in this respect.
