1. The Committee notes with interest the Government's statement that section 66(6) of the Commercial Code, which restricts the admission of women to the Stock Exchange, has fallen into disuse and is not applied. This is plain from the list of brokerage firms registered at the Quito Stock Exchange, in which the names of women stockbrokers are highlighted, and which shows, according to the Government, that women are admitted to the Stock Exchange. It also notes the Government's statement that it reiterates its commitment to expedite the procedure in the National Congress for the adoption of the legal reforms to bring the national legislation into full conformity with the Convention, and the photocopies of the communications sent by the Minister of Labour to the President of the National Congress asking that the reforms of the Commercial Code and the Act on Cooperatives be expedited. The Committee hopes that the Government will report on progress in this respect in its next report.

2. The Committee raises other matters in a request which it is addressing directly to the Government.
