Application of the law. In view of the lack of a reply from the Government regarding the application of section 84 of Act No. 90-11 of 21 April 1990 concerning labour relations, which establishes the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value, the Committee repeats its request for information on the following points:

(i)        the number and nature of infringements of section 84 recorded by the labour inspectorate;

(ii)       the steps taken by the labour inspectorate to detect any contraventions of the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value;

(iii)      the number, nature and outcome of equal remuneration cases dealt with by the judicial authorities.

Application of the principle of the Convention in the public service. The Committee notes that the General Public Service Regulations (Act No. 06-03 of 16 July 2006) state that “no discrimination may be made between public servants by reason of […] their sex” (section 27) but that they do not contain any provision requiring equal remuneration for men and women officials for work of equal value. The Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report the manner in which the application of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value is ensured in the public service.

Cooperation with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee repeats its previous request for information on the activities undertaken in cooperation with the social partners to give effect to the provisions of the Convention, including any activities to raise awareness of the principle of equal remuneration and of the concept of “work of equal value” undertaken with the employers’ and workers’ organizations.

Promotion of the principle of the Convention. National Council for the Family and Women. The Committee notes the establishment of the National Council for the Family and Women by means of Executive Decree No. 06-421 of 22 November 2006, which replaces the National Council for Women which was officially set up in March 2005. The Committee asks the Government to supply information on the specific activities undertaken by the National Council for the Family and Women to promote the application of the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value, particularly supplying copies of reports, studies and surveys conducted in this area.
