The Committee notes with interest the Government's report for the period ending June 1992. It also notes the information contained in the 1993 report on Convention No. 88 and would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide detailed information in its next report. Please also provide details on the following points.

1. In its report the Government supplies information on the situation and trends in employment but points out that it is based only on the data of the Social Welfare Fund and the Employment and Vocational Training Agency (AEFP). The Committee notes that approximately four requests for employment out of five are not met despite a slight improvement in the sectors which are very sensitive to seasonal variations (tourism, construction). The Committee notes that under Decision No. 91-029 of 24 January 1991 all job seekers must register with the AEFP and all employers must notify vacancies to the AEFP, and hopes that the Government will shortly be in possession of data which reflect the employment situation as a whole more accurately. It would be grateful if the Government would provide statistics on the total population, the active population, employment and unemployment, by sex and by age, in the various sectors of activity.

2. The Committee gathers from the statistics on job offers processed by the AEFP contained in the report, that most of the jobs on offer were for workers of one or the other sex exclusively. The Committee recalls that under Article 1, paragraph 2(c) of the Convention, employment policy must be designed to ensure that there is freedom of choice of employment and the fullest possible opportunity for each worker to qualify for, and to use his skills and endowments in, a job for which he is well suited, irrespective of sex, and points out that employment services must contribute to the elimination of all discrimination on grounds of sex in access to employment. The Committee also asks the Government to provide full information on the reasons for this situation and the measures taken or envisaged to remedy it in its next report on the application of the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention (No. 111), 1958.

3. The Committee notes with interest the detailed information on measures for vocational training and occupational integration provided by the Government in its report on Convention No. 88. It notes in particular that the effectiveness of the measures is assessed by calculating the "integration rate". Please continue to provide such information particularly with regard to "adaptation to employment" contracts, local development works and measures for the employment of disabled persons.

4. Article 3. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide detailed information on the work of the Territorial High Committee on employment, vocational training and social promotion stating the frequency and agenda of its meetings, the conclusions of such meetings and the way in which account has been taken of them. Please provide samples of documents produced by this committee with the next report.
