1. The Committee notes the observations presented by the Association of Employees of the National Board of Electrical Power Stations and Distribution (AUTE) -- Inter-Union Assembly of Workers/National Convention of Workers (PIT/CNT) concerning discrimination on the basis of sex which took place in the National Board of Electrical Power Stations and Distribution (UTE). It is alleged that because special social security standards are applied for women, women workers receive smaller amounts than men when they collect voluntary redundancy benefits.

2. The Committee notes that the Government has indicated that this situation has been denounced to the General Labour Inspectorate and is currently under examination. The Committee recalls the wide scope of Article 1, paragraph 1(a), of the Convention and Paragraph 2(b)(iv) of Recommendation No. 111 and requests the Government to inform it of the final results of the proceedings brought by the labour inspectorate in this case.

3. The Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government on other matters.
