The Committee notes Act No. 213 of June 1993, which issues the new Labour Code. The Committee notes with satisfaction that this text amends section 230 of the former Code, which had been the subject of its comments, and that it provides in section 229 that equality of remuneration rates must be without distinction on the basis of sex for "work of equal value", whether or not the work is of the same nature. The Committee notes that for the purposes of this provision, remuneration does not include the components of the wage which is related to seniority and merit. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the manner in which the principle of equality of remuneration for men and women workers is also applied to the components of remuneration which relate to seniority and merit.

The Committee is raising other points in a direct request.
