1. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the Bill which will replace the Decree of 26 July 1957 respecting industries and occupations prohibited to women workers, is currently at the stage of consultation with the social partners. The Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the new Act once it has been adopted.

2. As regards the measures that have been adopted or are contemplated to guarantee the gypsy minority access to employment and training, the Committee notes the Government's statement that, within the framework of the programme for the vocational training of socially marginal persons and ethnic minorities, included in the National Vocational Training and Integration Plan (FIP Plan), vocational training courses are provided for workers belonging to the gypsy minority throughout the national territory. The Committee also notes the statistics on the number of courses and the number of gypsies who have benefited from the above vocational training. The Committee hopes that the Government will continue to supply information on the progress achieved in this respect.
