1. The Committee notes the Government’s detailed report, received in July 2003, and the comments on the report provided by the Trade Union Confederation of Workers’ Commissions (CC.OO.) and the General Union of Workers (UGT).

2. Part IV of the Convention. Remuneration of workers. With reference to the communication by the CC.OO., concerning the revision of the interoccupational minimum wage (SMI), the Committee refers to the comments that it has been making on the application of the Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131), and it hopes that the Government will provide the information requested in this respect.

3. With regard to the communication of the UGT, which refers to Part II of the Convention relating to the improvement of standards of living and Part VI concerning education and training, the Committee notes the criticism made by the trade union organization of the General Budget for 2004. The UGT also refers to the situation of migrant workers in Spain.

4. Taking into account the comments made in relation to the situation of migrant workers and to the employment and human resources development policies, which are matters related to Convention No. 117, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would include in its next report on Convention No. 117 a synthetic and updated overview of the manner in which it is ensured that the improvement of standards of living has been regarded as "the principal objective in the planning of economic development" (Article 2 of the Convention).
