The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

With reference to its previous direct requests, the Committee notes that in its very brief report the Government merely repeats that section 8 of the Labour Code of 1957 establishes the principle of non-discrimination, and does not supply the information which the Committee has requested for several years on the following points:

1. The Committee would appreciate detailed information on the practical application of section 12 and Chapter IV of the Labour Code (including particulars of the number and type of vocational training courses organized, the results obtained and the percentage of women attending them) so that it can ascertain whether the principle of non-discrimination is applied in respect of access to vocational training.

2. The Committee refers to paragraphs 15, 157 and 170 of its 1988 General Survey on Equality in Employment and Occupation, and asks the Government to provide detailed information on the practical methods used to implement the national policy to promote equality of opportunity and treatment in respect of employment and occupation, in particular as regards access to and terms and conditions of employment.

3. Noting that section 3 of the Labour Code provides that the Council of Ministers is responsible for the preparation, within three months, of the Civil Servants Bill, the Committee requests the Government to indicate whether such a Bill has been enacted and, if so, to provide a copy.

4. The Committee also requests the Government to supply a copy of the list of jobs prohibited for women and minors which was to be established in accordance with section 127(3) of the Labour Code.

It hopes that the next report will supply full information in response to the present request.
