Article 1(b) of the Convention. Equal remuneration workers for work of equal value. Legislation. In its previous comment, the Committee noted that the various provisions of national legislation establishing the principle of equal remuneration (article 102(c) of the Constitution, section 89 of the Labour Code and section 3 of the Civil Service Act, set out in Decree No. 1748 of 2 May 1968) lay down a principle narrower than that provided for in the Convention and requested the Government to take legislative measures in this regard. The Commission notes the Government’s indication in its report that all of the legislative reforms recommended by the Committee with respect to the application of the principle have been submitted for discussion to the Chairperson of the Subcommittee on Labour Legislation and Policy of the National Tripartite Committee on Labour Relations and Freedom of Association. The Government also reports that the draft proposal to reform Decree No. 1748, which includes the amendment of section 3 of the Civil Service Act, is currently pending before the National Congress. The Committee trusts that, following up on the initiatives referred to by the Government, the necessary measures will be taken to ensure that the legislation duly reflects the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value, and requests the Government to provide information in this regard.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
