The Committee notes the information supplied in the Government's report, and in particular it notes with interest that the State Employment Agency no longer asks employers to specify sex when notifying vacancies to the agency.

1. The Committee notes with interest the information supplied by the Government on the various projects under way to improve women's equality in the workplace, including improvement of the databases concerning women, sexual discrimination and education. Now that the General Directorate of the Status and Problems of Women is part of the newly created Ministry of State for Women, Family and Social Services, the Committee requests the Government to inform it, in its next report, of the activities of the Directorate vis-à-vis the State Planning Organization's five-year plan, which began in 1990.

2. The Committee thanks the Government for supplying a copy of the 1930 legislation, as amended, under which decisions have been taken concerning the appointment of women to high administrative posts. The Committee notes, however, that, according to the Government's report, only one female governor is in active duty and seven female district governors are currently receiving training. It asks the Government to continue to inform it of the measures taken to improve the equal access of women to positions of responsibility in the administration.

3. While noting the 1993 figures supplied by the Government on the large number of participants from disadvantaged groups receiving vocational training, especially training leading to guaranteed employment, the Committee nevertheless notes that the report gives no further details on activities to promote equality of opportunity and treatment for groups such as ethnic minorities. It accordingly asks the Government to supply such information in its next report.
