The Committee notes the information contained in the Government's report and the attached job classifications and salary scales applying in the public service.

1. The Committee notes the explanations concerning the application of the equal remuneration provision (section 52c) of the Employment (Amendment) Ordinance 1989. In this regard, it notes that the provision is applied also through collective agreements, negotiated annually for the private and public sectors. Please indicate the measures taken to ensure that payments made above the minimum wage rates fixed by collective agreements are paid in accordance with the Convention. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would furnish samples of some collective agreements applying in the public sector, which were unfortunately not received with the report.

2. The Committee notes from the 1994 Abstract of Statistics, published by the Government of Gibraltar, that as at April 1994, men's average earnings for full-time work exceeded women's by some 40.6 per cent. Please indicate, if possible, the reasons for the wage gap, particularly in the private sector where the wage gap was of the order of 44.4 per cent at that time.
