In its previous comments, the Committee referred to discrimination in employment and occupation on grounds of race, colour, religion and national extraction. While noting the information provided by the Government in its report on the measures adopted by the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate to resolve the problems which had arisen in the agricultural sector with regard to foreign workers in the provinces of Murcia, Alicante and Almería, the Committee notes that no information was supplied on awareness-raising measures and the promotion of social integration of minorities. The Committee therefore once again requests the Government to provide information on the measures that have been taken with a view to raising public awareness of the problem of discrimination on grounds of race, colour, religion and national extraction, as well as any affirmative action taken or envisaged to promote the integration of Moroccan workers and other minorities and ethnic groups into the social and economic life of Spain. The Committee trusts that the Government will take the necessary measures to guarantee tolerance, understanding and respect by the population for these groups and that it will provide detailed information on such measures in its next report. The Committee also requests the Government to provide information on the statistical surveys undertaken in the labour market with a view to analysing the impact of its policy on the situation experienced by Moroccan workers and other minorities in the various sectors of the economy, their access to vocational guidance and training measures, their admission to employment, their conditions of work and their distribution at the various occupational levels.

In addition, the Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government on other matters.
