1. The Committee has taken note of the reports supplied by the Government and of the attached texts received in 1990 and 1991.

2. With regard to the measures taken to apply section 7(XX) of the Constitution concerning specific incentives to protect female labour, the Committee notes the Government's statement that these have not been adopted but are under study. The Committee asks the Government to supply information about practical application and its results once the appropriate measures have been adopted.

3. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the statistical data given in the annual report of the Labour Inspectorate for 1989, in which it is observed that the number of undertakings and workers inspected, the number of violations and the value of the fines levied are less than those for 1987. The Committee notes, however, that the Government has announced with regret a reduction in the number of labour inspectors for economic reasons. The Committee recalls that the National Confederation of Workers in Industry had drawn attention to the inadequate number of labour inspectors; it hopes that the Government will do what it can to improve the situation. The Committee asks the Government to continue supplying information about the progress achieved in that respect.

4. The Committee takes note of the statistical data on the average monthly incomes earned by male and female workers in 1988 in the various sectors of activity, in which it is found that the wages earned by female workers are lower than those earned by men in all sectors of activity. The Committee asks the Government to continue reporting on the measures taken or contemplated to remedy these wage differences.
