The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

1. The Committee notes with interest the adoption of Government Bill No. 1987/88:105, setting government policy to the mid-1990s on equality between men and women in Sweden, and which specifies concrete goals for equality to be achieved by certain dates and the measures by which they can be achieved. It hopes that the Government will indicate in future reports the measures taken in these respects and the results achieved. 2. The Committee also notes with interest that the Equal Opportunities Ombudsman presented a report to the Ministry of Labour in December 1986 which recommended among other things that the Equal Opportunities Act be amended to include a ban on reprisals on account of complaints of sex discrimination, in view of the insufficiency of existing safeguards against such reprisals. Please provide with the next report information on whether this proposed amendment has been adopted and on any further measures in this connection. 3. Further points are being raised in a request addressed directly to the Government.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
