The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report and the adoption on 29 May 1992 of the new Labour Code, which was prepared with the assistance of the Office.

1. In view of the fact that section 5 of the Labour Code excludes from its scope the following categories of workers (independent workers in the liberal professions, workers paid on commission, commercial agents, and sharecroppers), the Committee requests the Government to indicate how they are covered by the principle set out in the Convention.

2. The Committee notes the information concerning the gradual application of Act No. 14/91 on the public service and administrative careers and the statement that it was due to be applied in October 1993 to the Secretariat of State for Labour, particularly through staff courses on the nature and scope of the Act. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the progress achieved in the application of this Act.

3. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide copies of the wage scales applicable in the public service, including the distribution of men and women at the various levels, in order to enable the Committee to analyse the manner in which the principle set out in the Convention is applied.

4. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government on wage levels in industrial free trade zones and requests the Government to supplement the information by indicating the wages of men and women workers. It also requests the Government to report whether collective agreements have been concluded which indicate the wage levels agreed upon, and to transmit copies of such agreements.

5. The Committee notes with interest the information and statistics concerning the periodical and special visits made by the inspection services and the records which have been verified. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply information indicating the number of violations committed and the penalties imposed in relation to the principle of equality of remuneration throughout the national territory.
