The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous direct request.

1. The Committee notes the new Constitution that was enacted in 1989, which repeals the Fundamental Act of 1982. It notes in particular sections 36, 37, 51, 52 and 53 of the above Constitution which deal with matters that relate to the application of the Convention. The Committee also notes that the new Constitution was suspended in December 1990. The Committee requests the Government to inform it of any developments in this respect.

2. With reference to its previous comments concerning access to public sector jobs without distinction as to sex (section 5 of Ordinance No. 15/PR/1986 of 20 September 1986), the Committee notes, from the Government's report, that no specific conditions of employment in the public service deny the employment of women and that only the occupation of night watchman is reserved for men.

3. The Committee notes from the Government's report that, as regards vocational guidance and training, there are no specific measures for girls and that efforts are being made to promote school attendance by all children, without distinction as to sex. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the measures taken or envisaged as regards access to vocational training and employment in order to promote in practice the application of the principle of non-discrimination in these fields.

4. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's indications that the policy of non-discrimination is now understood by employers' and workers' organisations and that the negative attitude that had been noted previously is no longer perceptible. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any changes in the situation in its next report.
