1. Article 4(a) of the Convention. The Committee recalls the resolution on the final report of the Commission on the situation of women's employment and the integration into legislation of measures concerning equality, dated 7 September 1990. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to provide information on any measures taken or contemplated to implement the recommendations contained in section (a) of the resolution concerning the need to facilitate women's equal opportunities in the labour market.

With respect to the provisions for parental leave contained in Act No. 40, 1981, as amended by Act No. 30, 1984, the Committee, noting that such leave periods are not counted for purposes of calculating seniority, entitlement to pension, annual leave or severance pay, requests the Government to give consideration to extending such coverage to the leave benefits and to report on any measures contemplated or taken in this regard.

With reference to the above-mentioned resolution on the Commission's study concerning women, the Committee, noting the measures taken to promote part-time work, requests the Government to provide information on any other measures taken to implement the recommendations, contained in section (b), concerning the need to adapt the organization of work to make it compatible with family and social responsibilities such as introducing part-time, flexible working hours and job sharing.

4. Article 5. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information in future reports on the measures taken to ensure that the existing child-care facilities meet the demand for such facilities in terms of availability, quality and accessibility.

5. Article 6. The Committee recalls the recommendation, contained in section (c) of the above-mentioned resolution on the Commission's study, concerning women's employment calling for the promotion of a strong and incisive campaign of sensitization on the role of women in changing society. It would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the measures taken to implement such an informational campaign, particularly with respect to the issues concerning the reconciliation of work and family responsibilities, in conformity with this provision of the Convention.

6. Article 7. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any special measures that have been taken or are contemplated which aim at enabling workers with family responsibilities to engage in guidance or vocational training schemes.
