The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which reads as follows:

1.  The Committee notes that, according to the Government’s report, no statistical information is available showing the distribution of men and women at the different levels and in positions of responsibility in the public service. It requests the Government to provide other information in order to enable it to examine whether women are equally represented at the middle and higher levels of employment. The Committee requests the Government to refer to its general observation of 1998 concerning statistics and reminds it that it may always have recourse to the technical assistance of the ILO in the field of labour statistics.

2.  The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain a reply to the other comments made in its previous direct request. It is therefore bound to repeat its direct request, which read as follows:

(a)  The Committee notes with interest that the programme to establish a national classification of jobs has finally been completed and that a copy of the classification is attached to the report. It hopes that the Government will be in a position to report in the near future the progress achieved in practice with regard to the objective appraisal of jobs, which is one of the measures that can assist in giving effect to the principle of equal remuneration (Article 3 of the Convention).

(b)  The Committee notes the publication of Act No. 101/iv/93 of 31 December 1993 to revise the general legal framework of industrial relations, of which section 39(m) refers explicitly to the right of workers to equal remuneration for equal work. With reference to paragraph 44 of its 1986 General Survey on equal remuneration, and in view of the ambiguity of the term "equal", which may either be interpreted narrowly or broadly, the Committee requests the Government to specify whether in practice, in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention, equal remuneration is paid for the same work as well as for work to which an equal value is attributed.
