With reference to its previous direct requests, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its request for details on the penal sanctions in force for violations of the ban on sex-based discrimination set out in Act No. 93-6601 of 1993, as well as on public service wage scales and staffing tables disaggregated by sex.

1. With regard to the manner in which the principle set out in the Convention is applied in agriculture, the Government refers to the regulatory texts adopted after consultation with workers' and employers' organizations and to the texts setting the minimum wage for agriculture (SMAG) which mention that the rate applies expressly to workers of both sexes (for example, as stated in Decree No. 94-1865 of 5 September 1994). It adds that observance of the principle is ensured by inspections undertaken by labour inspectors in agricultural enterprises. The Committee would like to receive information in the next report on the number of agricultural enterprises inspected, any cases noted during such inspections of the non-application of the principle set out in the Convention and the measures taken to resolve these cases, including an indication of the penal and administrative sanctions which may have been imposed by the labour inspectorate and the courts, in accordance with sections 3, 5bis and 234 of the Labour Code, as indicated in the report.

The Committee notes that once again the Government has not given details on the manner in which the principle of equal remuneration for men and women is applied in agriculture with regard to wages above the minimum wage, in particular as regards the remuneration rates and occupational classifications determined by committees on agricultural work under section 4(b) and (c) of Decree No. 71/285 of 2 August 1971 respecting committees on agricultural work. The Committee hopes that the requested information will be supplied in the next report.

2. The Committee notes the Government's statement that the requested statistics will be supplied as soon as they are available. It hopes that the Government will soon be in a position to provide the detailed information referred to in paragraph 1 of its 1994 direct request. Please refer in this respect to its general observation of 1990 and to paragraph 248 of its 1986 General Survey on Equal Remuneration.
